About This Book

Mandy is a sweet girl who usually stays out of trouble, but everything changes when Tanya, a bold and fearless foster child, moves in nearby. As their friendship grows, Mandy discovers that being 'bad' can mean standing up for yourself and that true friends come in all kinds of personalities. Together, they navigate school challenges, family worries, and the ups and downs of growing up.
