Just Kidding - Book 10

Isabel can't believe what's happening to her... the IM gossip chain has gotten way out of control, and she's the target. Mean messages and whispering classmates are popping up in the strangest places -- including a certain Queen of Mean's away message. How did things get so out of control? Everybody says they're "just kidding," but it's not funny at all. Someone is poisoning Spirit Week with her twisted lies. Drama overload! To top it off, Miss Pierce has mysteriously disappeared, and Charlotte is petrified that her friend is gone for good.

(Hey girls -- has something like this ever happened to you?  Would you, and your parents, mind sharing your real-life experience to help other girls?  If so, let us know by having your parents send us an email at mediarelations@btweenproductions.com .  Thanks!)

I no how Izzy feels. I really liked a boy. Then he asked me out. I know, sounds awesome but NO WAY! Everyone was saying he was soooo ugly. I had no choice but to break up with him. I cried on my bed for TWO WHOLE HOURS!!!!

I like the no joke zone idea. People at my school are always saying mean things and then say "Just Kidding!" but it is still mean, so it is a great way to stop that!

I don't agree with the idea of Kevin and Isabel dating. I do think they will become really tight friends though.

Wow! Isabel I definately know how you feel! In third grade people started to gossip about me and every year since!It really is annoying! My friends stopped being my friends because some of it had to do with them. After a while I finally convinced them that it wasn't true and they told thier friends. Now the gossiping is stopping!
