A new novel from the author of SIDETRACKED and UPSTAGED.

What’s more humiliating than your mom dating the assistant principal at your middle school? Evie’s about to find out.

Things aren’t going well for Evie Lefkowitz. Since her father passed away, she’s successfully helped her mom fend off several unappealing suitors. But now her mom seems thrilled about an upcoming date—with the assistant principal at Evie’s middle school. Things couldn’t get much worse…

Until her mom volunteers Evie as a tutor for Joey Ceraco, a boy Evie hasn’t spoken to since their kindergarten playdates—a boy who, along with his best friend Tommy Halliday, is known as trouble.

Joey’s friends couldn’t be more different from Evie’s, and her identity as “the cantor’s daughter” at Temple Shir Shalom is something they don’t understand. So how do they end up joining forces in an after-school heist that just might get them all a lifetime of detention? And could it be that getting in a little trouble is what it takes for Evie to become the person she’s meant to be?
