The long-awaited follow up to Two Weeks In Grade Six and A Term In Year Seven.

'Jeez, Mum,' I yell, 'you could have warned me before you decided to ruin my life!'

When Kaitlin's mum tells her they're going to live in America for three months, Kaitlin is furious. She finally has a group of friends at school - real friends she can trust - and now she's going to move a million kilometres away. 

But when they get to Iowa, even Kaitlin has to admit it's not a total disaster. Amy and Jazz in her eighth grade class seem extra friendly. But what's with that weird kid Leon who won't talk to anyone? And what's his problem with Kaitlin?
