Book excerpt: Shocked. Devastated. Angry. These are the feelings of twelve-year-old Shelly Morgan when she learns that her family will be moving from Illinois to New Jersey at the end of the summer. And no wonder. Shelly likes predictability and routine, and a long-distance move is anything but. The house Shelly has lived in her entire life will be a thing of the past. Leaving her three dear friends whom she sees every day will be heartbreaking. And the thought of a new, scary school where she knows no one-this situation is beyond miserable. Once in New Jersey, her mom tells an unhappy Shelly that every day will get just a little better. However, it seems that for the first time that Shelly can remember, Mrs. Morgan is wrong. Shelly faces numerous challenges-a disastrous family reunion, a sister who seems headed for trouble, and a lunch table of girls who make her feel uneasy and unwelcome. To escape her impossible situation, Shelly devises a plan to hang on to her old friends despite the distance. However, this only complicates her journey even further . . .
