Prologue

"I found a book instead of Converse laces."

The quote that started it all. In a beachside neighborhood of Southern Florida near Miami, 10-year-old Jamie McKay finds a magical book instead of laces for her new bubblegum-pink Converse, it changes the friends' lives forever.

Weeks later, Cassie Summers lights a toaster on fire with her bare hands. Her twin accidentally almost electrocutes herself. Ally reads Kira's mind exactly and figures out what she's been hiding. And, most strangest of all, Laila Holmes changes her teacher's mind and gets an A in pre-algebra.

The friends must figure out where this book, The Friendship Diary as they decide to call it, will lead them and how it will affect their already dramatic middle-school lives.
