Description

The Crazy Things Girls Do for Love is a comedic novel set at Clifton Springs High School, where fashion-crazed Sicilee, vintage-wearing Maya, and socially withdrawn Waneeda join the Environmental Club to get close to the new student Cody Lightfoot. Their rivalry pushes them to organize a big Earth Day celebration, which changes the way the school thinks about the environment. Throughout the story, the girls discover unexpected friendships and gain new perspectives on sustainability and personal growth.

Quick Summary

Three wildly different girls throw caution to the wind and join the Environmental Club just to get close to the new heartthrob, turning a simple crush into a hilarious, heart-warming mission. Kids will devour the witty banter, the unexpected friendships that bloom over recycling projects, and the surprising growth each character experiences while navigating crushes and cafeteria politics. If your kid loves the diary-style humor of "Dork Diaries" and the club-drama of "The Baby-Sitters Club," they'll be hooked by this fresh mix of fashion, art, and eco-activism. Perfect for readers ages 10-13 in grades 5-7 who enjoy coming-of-age stories with a side of humor and environmental flair.
