The Friendship War

A fabulous school story about fads and friendship from the bestselling author of Frindle. This is war. Okay--that´s too dramatic. But no matter what this is called, so far I´m winning. And it feels wonderful. Grace and Ellie have been best friends since second grade. Ellie´s always right in the center of everything--and Grace is usually happy to be Ellie´s sidekick. But what happens when everything changes? This time it´s Grace who suddenly has everyone´s attention when she accidentally starts a new fad at school. A fad that has first her class, then her grade, and then the entire school collecting and trading and even fighting over . . . buttons?! A fad that might get her in major trouble and could even be the end of Grace and Ellie´s friendship. Because Ellie´s not used to being one-upped by anybody. There´s only one thing for Grace to do. With the help of Hank, the biggest button collector in the 6th grade, she´ll have to figure out a way to end the fad once and for all. But once a fad starts, can it be stopped?
