Ida May has just lost her last best friend. Her name is Elizabeth and she moved away because her dad got a new job in a new town. Now she doesn’t have anybody who is nice to her. She decides it might be easier to be lonely rather than make new friends. But, Ida’s plan to stay lonely fails when the new student comes to their class.

   Even though she kind of likes the new girl, Stacey, she isn’t allowed to hang out with her because of the 4th grade bully named Jenna. But Ida May figures out a way to fool Jenna. She begins sending secret notes to Stacey. They create new names and talk to each other by sending secret notes to each other. They also have a secret hiding place to exchange the notes. Even if gets discovered, Jenna wouldn’t be able to figure out who they were from because they used different names. In the notes, Stacey is Anastasia and Ida May is Cordelia.
 
    For a while, the secret note friendship works well until Jenna discovers their secret hiding place. Ida May has a tough decision to make. Does she reveal her secret identity and risk the mean things that Jenna might do, or does she tell everybody who she is and stick up for her friendship with Stacey?
 
    I think that this book is SO good that I wanted the story to keep going and going.  It’s really cool how Ida May and Stacey figure out how to stay best friends even when one of them was about to move away.

    This book sounds emotinal and dangerous, I like it. But the thing is that I am in the middle of 3 books so I don’t know I’ll get to read this book anytime soon.

    I got this book after reading your report, Isabel, and you’re right: it is definitely the best book regarding best friends, fights and stuff like that (too bad it doesn’t take about standing up to homework!) so I can’t wait to get the sequal.
    Keep posting Isabel!

    Someone last year did this for a book report and it sounded totally different. But now that you put it like that, it can go on my waiting list that is backed up for at least 30 years :)
