Liza Gold confronts one of her worst fears by going on a road trip across the country with her parents and two other crazy families, spending two months away from Sam and Mina, her best friends, but as the summer wears on, she receives a pleasant surprise.

Living with other "mechs" since her wealthy parents transplanted her brain into a mechanical body to prevent her from dying in a horrible accident, Lia becomes a pawn in a religious leader's movement to outlaw "mech" technology and eradicate machines such as herself.

Addie, tired of feeling invisible, joins an all-girl band where she gets the recognition she thought she wanted--only to realize maybe she got things all wrong.

Seventh grade gets off to a shaky start when Addie throws a back-to-school party in her basement and ends up face first in the punch bowl, and later realizes her friends have not always been truthful with her.

Addie Singer, a middle schooler with two disastrous science fair projects in her past, tries desperately to find a partner to work with her or risk failing science class, while at the same time she must deal with her sudden popularity--thanks to her participation in a social experiment.

Addie Singer is struggling to deal with all the changes in her life with the help of her guitar, her dog, and her two best friends, but she puts her friendships in jeopardy when she begins to take them for granted.
