Lauren sits every day in the cafeteria with her friend Tara
but she watches the center of the cafeteria where Krista and
her "Don't-you-wish-you-were-me" friends.  Then one day
Celeste moves to town and is able to make friends with
Lauren and the DYWYWM group.  People warn Lauren
unspecifically about Celeste but when the two of them run
for student council treasurer and win, the trouble starts.
Is Celeste really the good friend that Lauren thinks?
Although the general idea plot of this 154 page book was
fairly predictable to me, it presents some very real dilemas
that kids this age face every day dealing with friendship
and popularity.
