Teen Girl Friendship

In a new city, at a new school, 12-year-old Emmy has never felt more out of tune. Things start to look up when she takes her first coding class, unexpectedly connecting with the material - and Abigail, a new friend - through a shared language: music. But when Emmy gets bad news about their computer teacher, and finds out Abigail isn't being entirely honest about their friendship, she feels like her new life is screeching to a halt. Despite these obstacles, Emmy is determined to prove that, for the first time ever, she isn't a wrong note, but a musician in the world's symphony.

Amen "Amie" McBee, the youngest of five sisters, gobbles up words the way other children gobble up sweets.

Ever fall in love with your best friend? It turns your world upside down. Just ask Mila and Laura, two teens who realize they want to be more than just friends. But even if they surrender to love, can they ever find the courage to tell the world?

Kara is going to do a play at the club. She has never tried being on a stage before, but she is excited. Julie is too. Maybe a bit more than Kara, because she is sure she is going to get the lead role. But maybe Kara wants the lead role too.
