Itโ€™s 1993. Beth McMaugh is eleven years old and about to start Year Six. Her best friend, Ashlee, assures Beth that it is going to be the best year ever, but then why is she sitting with the popular girls? When the new strange, nerdy kid, Jools, befriends Beth, she is swept up instead into the School Nerd Club.

Behind everything is a secret from Bethโ€™s past, a secret so terrible it stays with her, every day. Making the spirals come. And there was that day at the beach. Is that why Ashlee doesnโ€™t want to be friends? Is that why her Mum avoids her? Has Beth ruined everything?

Can a nerdy girl with mismatched socks, a rebellious punk, a popular boy and a science fiction movie help set it right?

Real Friends by Shannon Hale, meets Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, meets The Friendship Matchmaker by Randa Abdel Fattah, this is a story of growing up, of friendship, of finding your tribe and unlocking your hidden talents โ€ฆ plus Star Wars.

Kate Gordon grew up in a very booky house, with two librarian parents, in a small town by the sea in Tasmania. She also spent much of her time dreaming about being a writer and spent many a lunch hour walking around the playground reciting poetry. After studying performing arts and realizing she was a terrible actor, Kate decided to give in to genetics and study to be a librarian herself. She never stopped writing and, in 2009, with the encouragement of her husband, she applied for and won a Varuna fellowship, which led to all sorts of lovely writer things happening.

Sarah Bacaller is a writer, researcher, and audiobook narrator from Melbourne, Australia.
