Sincerely Claire, Sincerely Claire

After living in California for almost a year, Claire returns to Oregon with high hopes that seventh grade will be better than sixth. Barely off the school bus, though, trouble smacks her in the head. Literally. Her California bullies! Here? The Lavender Girls' dads were hired to supervise a local tunnel project, and the families came along. Claire knows to watch her back. But she fears for her hometown friend Lizbeth, who has yet to discover how far the Lavender Girls can take their harassment. Fudging a little on what her parents would approve of, Claire creates her own club to battle the bullies' evil ploys.
