The adventure continues with Aven Green, a transplant to the Valley of the Sun, as she enters 9th grade.
Having already established friendships the previous year, she is ready to take on high school. However, life has a few momentous events that send Aven wondering why her parents moved to a place where “a couple of minutes [outside] feels like hours when you’re walking on the surface of the sun”. The author’s humor is sprinkled throughout the book with Aven having a wonderful imagination and a llama named Spaghetti. On the serious side, Aven must deal with bullying, liking a boy (and does he like her?), learning that being white (with arms or without) is different than being African American, and what to dress up as for Comicon.
