Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz
Coming September 1, 2025
What’s more humiliating than your mom dating your assistant principal?
Evie’s about to find out.
Evie can’t believe that her mom has volunteered her to tutor Joey Ceraco, a boy she hasn’t spoken to since kindergarten—a boy who, along with his friend Tommy, is known as trouble.
Evie’s best friends, Rachel and Spencer, have had her back since her father passed away. They couldn’t be more different from Joey and Tommy. So how do they end up joining forces in an after-school heist that just might get them lifetime detention, or worse?
Upstaged
Shira Gordon doesn’t think she has the courage to be in her school musical, especially when she’s cast as Mr. Jacey Squires, first tenor in the barbershop quartet. But singing arm in arm with three sweaty boys turns out to be the easy part, after she agrees to be the understudy for the show’s leading lady, school diva, Monica Manley.
Sidetracked
Joseph Friedman is no good at sports. His ADD makes school a struggle and his fears range from gargoyles to stewed prunes. And add worms and the starting gun, when he joins the cross country team. But with help of a new team and a new friend, he finds out that coming in first isn’t the only way to win.
