    About this audiobook

    “Stunning.”—School Library Journal (starred review)

    “A pitch-perfect ode to friendship.”—Good Morning America

    An ice skater without a rink. An artist without a place to draw. Two misfit girls who become unlikely friends over the course of an unusual week. Readers of Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Rebecca Stead, and Lisa Graff will adore Stick with Me.

    ?Izzy’s best friend seems to be ditching her for the Queen of Mean, Daphne Toll. Izzy wants to fit in and have some real friends, but all she really has are her drawings. And then her family rents out their house during winter break for some extra cash—and that family’s daughter is sleeping in Izzy’s room and attending the same camp!

    Wren is focused on perfecting her ice-skating routine after tanking at sectionals last year. But when her sister qualifies for a life-changing treatment for her epilepsy, Wren is carted off to stay in a rented home near Boston. It doesn’t help that she’s forced to attend the local theater camp, where it seems like the mean girls have it out for her.

    Will Izzy and Wren’s shared status as targets of Phoebe and Daphne bring them closer? Or will middle school drama prevent them from ever becoming friends?

    Jennifer Blecher, the author of the acclaimed Out of Place, writes with a pitch-perfect ear for tween girls about the ups and downs of middle school friendships. Told from dual perspectives, Stick with Me is a story about fitting in and figuring yourself out.

      Face it. Middle school is a war zone. It's a transition from childhood to adulthood where everyone is trying to figure out who they want to be and which group they will ultimately belong to. Throw in a bully, and life can be pure misery. For 12-year old Wren, the transition is especially hard when her best friend Phoebe abandons her the super-cool Daphne. And on top of that, money has become tight in the family when her father changes jobs to a startup. Now Wren and her family have to move into the garage while they rent out their house. Jennifer Blecher perfectly captures the angst of middle-school in this delightful story. Definitely recommended for middle grade girls!
