Beschreibung des Verlags
From the author of TBH and The Friendship List, Lisa Greenwald, comes a new series about the drama of middle school—and the group chat.
Sadie and Olive have never been part of their class’s popular friend group. Those girls—Pella, Annabelle, Cleo, and The Other Sadie—seem like creatures from another planet. They wear the trendiest clothes, have the best hair, flirt with the cutest boys, and speak their own language. By comparison, Sadie and Olive are invisible . . . until Sadie is accidentally added to the popular girls’ group chat. Armed with an inside perspective, Sadie sets out to join the friend group—IRL—before they figure out that they’ve got the wrong Sadie.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After she is accidentally added to her classmates' private group chat, an enterprising seventh grader plots her way into their crew in this frothy comedy from Greenwald (The Summer of the Fortune Tellers). Sadie and Olive have been best friends since birth. As middle school begins, Sadie yearns to expand their social circle, aspiring to join the ranks of the queen of their grade, also named Sadie. While Olive admits that she isn't sure that she wants more friends, Sadie privately believes that Olive won't fit in with the in crowd. When Sadie ends up in a group chat with popular Sadie and her friends, the protagonist resolves to keep her presence hidden, intending to use knowledge gleaned from the texts to study the other girls from the inside. Suddenly, she knows exactly what to wear to school and is at the forefront of the new matcha fad, much to Olive's consternation. Via Sadie's humorously self-centered narration, peppered with perceptive text conversations, Greenwald showcases an expert command for tween parlance and respect for tween preoccupations, coalescing into a meandering, slice-of-life offering. Characters cue as white. Ages 8–12.
