Candy Apple: I've Got a Secret and How to Be a Girly Girl in Just Ten Days/ 2 Books

by Lisa Papademetriou, Laura Bergen

Quiet Amanda Mays had the time of her life at summer camp. She made a ton of new friends, including spunky Allie. She even (accidentally) let everyone think she had a boyfriend back home. What harm could it do?
A lot -- because now Allie is moving to Amanda's town! But Amanda isn't the same girl she was at camp. She doesn't have a boyfriend, she's not very outgoing, and she knows that Allie will never get along with her shy best friend, Kate. Will Amanda's big secret cost her two best friends?
This is an excellent series for young girls.
