Going on Twelve — Candice Ransom

"Trust me," Kobie said.

Kobie, as class artist, stands by her right to draw the class mural for the school contest her way. The teacher replaces Kobie with John, the nerdy new kid. Then the class blames Kobie when its mural loses!

But worst of all is what happens when Kobie talks her best friend Gretchen into helping her play a mean trick on John. It's the sort of trick that involves breaking a lot of the school rules -- and they get caught.

Will there be life for Kobie after sixth grade?
