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

Mum said that when I turn thirteen, I'll start to feel different. Like, different how? I'm not a fan of change. I'm perfectly fine as I am, thank you.

Melody Moss survived Term One of high school. Phew!

But Term Two? That's another story...

Her thirteenth birthday party is shaping up to be the most awkward event in history.

Her ex-best friend is suddenly her frenemy... again.

Victor, her actual BFF, is acting seriously weird.

She's accidentally joined the basketball club (help).

The 'visitors' from her imagination keep popping up at the worst times.

Her dog still farts. Constantly.

She's determined to survive Year 7, but life isn't making it easy.

She's got great hair, a little bit of bra confidence, and more drama than she knows what to do with. Can Melody juggle friendship fallouts, sporting disasters, musical-theatre mayhem, and first/second love without it all blowing up in her face?
