summer is a time to grow
seeds
Polly has an idea that she can t stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She s setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it s going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won t have to watch her friends moving so far ahead.
roots
Jo is spending the summer at her family s beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she ll see at high school come September. She didn t count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn t count on her family at all. . .

Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A s. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products.
It is a new summer. And a new sisterhood. Come grow with them.
