Description

As seventh grade draws to a close, Sweet Pea’s life is changing faster than she can manage: her parents are divorcing, her father has come out as gay, and her former best friend may be ready to reconnect. When the advice-columnist neighbor between her parents’ nearly identical houses asks Sweet Pea to forward her mail, Sweet Pea begins opening the letters—and answering them herself. Amid mischievous schemes, embarrassing missteps, and the companionship of her cat Cheese, she learns about friendship, family, honesty, and finding the courage to use her own voice. With warmth, humor, and an empathetic middle-grade perspective, the novel explores growing up and navigating change without losing sight of who you are.
