Description

Noah, Nadia, Ethan and Julian each have a story to tell about how they became friends. Julian sends them an invitation to afternoon tea and soon that's where you'll find them every Saturday.

Quick Summary

A Newbery Medal winner combines a clever small-town mystery with hilariously real middle school drama, where four kids from totally different backgrounds become unlikely friends. Kids will love piecing together the puzzle alongside the characters and laughing at the authentically awkward moments of growing up. If your kid likes "The Westing Game" or "Bridge to Terabithia," they'll devour this story about friendship, identity, and solving life's little mysteries. Perfect for readers in grades 4-7 who want a book that's both brain-teasing and heartwarming.
