Shirley Garfield has six special reasons for looking forward to sixth grade. Five of them are her matching shoe-and-purse sets for each school day, and the sixth is her vow to act like a grown-up.

Electing herself president of a secret club designed to keep out bossy Claire Van Kemp seems like the perfect adult thing to do. But when the secret information gets into the wrong hands, the entire class goes into a club frenzy. Now everyone wants to have his or her own club and Shirley's left out in the cold feeling sorry for herself.
