Meet your new bestie Melody Moss in a hilarious new series about friendship, school and what it takes to survive being twelve!

Melody Moss is back for Term Three... and things are getting seriously complicated.

She has an actual boyfriend (!!!) but has no idea what she's doing. Her ex-best friend is still firmly in frenemy territory. Victor, her true BFF, has left for a fancy new school (rude). Her attempts at 'glowing up' are not going to plan. A tiny talking horse keeps turning up with very unhelpful advice. Her family is acting weird (especially her dad). Her dog still farts. Obviously.

While juggling friendship drama, first-love confusion, theatrical chaos and a few unexpected twists, Melody is doing everything she can to hold it all together.

But when small messes start turning into full-blown catastrophes, can she fix them all before everything spins completely out of control?
