description: Just thirteen, best friends Kobie and Gretchen are having too good a summer vacation to worry about Madame Zaza's warning of "dark days ahead." There are boys to watch, lipsticks to try, record albums to hear. And a lifelong friendship to keep them busy. But when school begins, Gretchen starts making big changes. Suddenly she has the right looks, the right clothes, and all the right new friends. While Gretchen moves on, Kobie is stuck with her dream of being an artist and her favorite Top 40 songs to get her through eighth grade. Can Kobie survive the year if it means sharing Gretchen?
