Quick Summary
Dawn faces her biggest test yet when she has to convince Kristy she's responsible enough to lead while wrangling three kids who push every button, all while figuring out where she fits in the club. Kids will devour the relatable middle school energy as Dawn stands her ground, messes up, learns, and discovers that being a leader means earning trust through actions, not just claiming the title. If your kid loves character-driven stories about friendship challenges and finding your voice, they'll eat this up. Perfect for third through sixth graders who enjoy series with heart, humor, and real kid drama.
