One mission. Countless obstacles. And Clare Westbrook.
In this heartwarming coming-of-age story, twelve-year-olds Emily, Lilly, and Max discover that real friendship means standing together when it counts most. When school life spills into their small town of Sunflower Springs, these three friends launch a mission to spread acts of kindness throughout their community-proving that being nice isn't just about good manners, it's about courage.
But Clare Westbrook has darker plans, and she'll stop at nothing to tear their community apart. Sunflower Springs isn't her first target. But if Emily, Lilly, and Max have anything to say about it, it'll be her last.
Every act of kindness they spread Clare counters with something darker. Every person they help, she turns against them. As friendship problems threaten to divide them and the stakes grow higher, the trio digs deeper into Clare's past-uncovering a secret that changes everything about their town, about Clare, and about what it really takes to save a community.
Can three kids armed with nothing but compassion prove that kindness is stronger than greed?
A contemporary middle-grade novel perfect for readers ages 12-15 who believe in the power of friendship.
