"Evan and Jessie Treski have waged a lemonade war, sought justice in a classroom trial, and unmasked a bell thief. Yet for all their skills, both find themselves being singled out this summer for reasons beyond their control. Evan, who has always been good at making new friends, is suddenly isolated at summer school with older kids who demand a kind of loyalty he's not ready to give. Science-loving Jessie just wants to construct the best bridge she can for an upcoming competition, but she's stuck in the wrong summer camp, surrounded by kids who believe in fairies, not physics. Can Evan and Jessie stay true to themselves while navigating these strange, new waters?"--Dust jacket flap.
"Evan and Jessie Treski have waged a lemonade war, sought justice in a class trial, unmasked a bell thief, and created a professional magic show. Yet for all their skills and talents, both find themselves being singled out this summer for reasons beyond their control. Natural-born leader Evan, who is always good at making new friends, discovers he is at the mercy of a bully on the summer school playground, and is pressured to act in a way he never has before. Science-loving Jessie just wants to construct the best bridge she can for the competition next month, yet she is stuck in the wrong summer camp, surrounded by kids who believe fairies are more real than physics and a group of girls who tortured her back in second grade. Suddenly, she, too finds herself acting in ways that puzzle her. Bestselling author Jacqueline Davies once again shows how well she understands her readers in this timely story of how being true to ourselves can help us remember how to treat others."--From http://www.Amazon.com.
