The social order at Rocky Road Middle School is turned on its ear when Mr. Ward gives out a class assignment assigning every student to a new clique. Suddenly, jocks are hanging out with geeks, burners are bonding with brainiacs, and Addie, having been assigned to the "popular clique," is best friends with Maris. When Addie's newfound popularity threatens her old way of life, she must make a choice between life as a populette and her true friends.
Geena's been mysteriously vacant from Addie's life lately and we soon learn why - because she has a new boyfriend! Addie has a hard time accepting Geena's new companion. Is it because she just doesn't like him, or is it possible that she's jealous? As Addie struggles with this internal battle, Zach embarks on a struggle of his own. Coach Pearson has organized a basketball tournament against a team of players in wheel chairs.
