Twelve-year-old Natalie Nelson has written a powerful school story. It's a short novel called "The Cheater," and her best friend Zoe is certain it should be published. All Natalie has to do is give the manuscript to her mom, an editor at a big publishing house. However Natalie doesn't want any favors from her mom. Still, Zoe won't drop the idea. Spurred into action, Natalie invents a pen name for herself and Zoe becomes a self-styled literary agent. But if the girls are to succeed, they'll need support from their wary English teacher, legal advice from Zoe's tough-talking father, and some clever maneuvering to outwit the overbearing editor in chief of Shipley Junior Books.

We made it through the trip. It wasn't easy though. You remember me saying I'd be rid of him, right? It didn't happen. I don't care what I did, he was still there. For one reason or another, he was there. My best friend and his friend decided to get married. They called to let us know. Of course they couldn't make it easy. We had to be there the next morning.

The man had to make things even more difficult for me. He took care of me the entire time. He lost time with his friend to take be there for me. Once we'd gotten back home, I told him to go. Did he? Of course not. He was right there until he had to leave. I know that sounded sweet of him. It was. I had never been taken care of like that, not ever.

That would never happen. I went to the store and got the test just to prove her wrong. I did my job. Then I waited. When I lifted that stick, my entire world changed. It couldn't be.
