Synopsis

Perfect for fans of the Cupcake Diaries and the Babysitters Club, this series features best friends Brooke, Vanessa, Heather, and Tim, who are in charge and confidentially yours when writing their middle school newspaper’s advice column.

Tim Antonides is feeling pretty good about sixth grade. He’s even begun to branch out and make some new guy friends. The only thing that could ruin his awesome reputation is his big secret―he performs Greek folk dances with his twin sister, Gabby . . . complete with a super embarrassing outfit. Only his family and closest friends know, and he’s going to make sure it stays that way.

But when the class bully, Ryan, discovers Tim’s hidden talent, he blackmails Tim into completing a list of almost-impossible tasks. Can Tim get out from under Ryan’s thumb and stay true to who he is without becoming the biggest laughingstock in school?

• Dealing with Bullies: When the class bully discovers Tim’s most embarrassing secret, he forces Tim to complete a list of ridiculous tasks to avoid being exposed.
• Staying True to Yourself: Tim loves Greek folk dancing, but he’s terrified his new friends will think it’s lame. Can he keep his talent hidden without losing who he is?
• Middle School Drama: Follow Tim and his best friends as they navigate the ups and downs of sixth grade, from writing the school advice column to surviving blackmail.
• Funny and Relatable: A laugh-out-loud story about embarrassing outfits, making new friends, and the hilarious challenges of keeping a secret.
