The social order at Rocky Road Middle School is turned on its ear when Mr. Ward gives out a class assignment assigning every student to a new clique. Suddenly, jocks are hanging out with geeks, burners are bonding with brainiacs, and Addie, having been assigned to the "popular clique," is best friends with Maris. When Addie's newfound popularity threatens her old way of life, she must make a choice between life as a populette and her true friends.

All her life, Addie has lived under the shadow of her big brother, Ben. His name has become legend at Rocky Road Middle School. Determined to make a name for herself, Addie sets out to do the one thing that Ben never did - publish an article in the school paper. But when Addie forgets to proof read her article, her name becomes famous for another reason.

Addie's decision NOT to vote for someone simply because they are a friend causes tension between her and Geena AND puts Principal Brandywine's job in jeopardy.

It's Charity Week at Rocky Road Middle School and Addie and Geena are determined to beat Maris and Cranberry by raising the most money for Heifer House. Thinking outside the fund-raising box, they rent a cow for the week.
