As the new girl in third grade, Alice doesn't know a single kid in Takoma Park, Maryland, except her next-door neighbor Donald Sheavers, who is not only a boy, but seems a bit peculiar, too Desperate to meet people, Alice learns that making friends is harder than it seems when she runs into a group of girls whom she nicknames the "Terrible Triplets" after they make it very clear that they do not want to get to know Alice.
