"Sticks and stones may break our bones but words will break our spirit." Skeezie, Addie, Joe and Bobby have always been friends. They do everything together and know that, though life may not always be fair, at least they have each other to see them through the seventh grade. But that turns out to be more of a challenge than any of them had anticipated. Starting with Addie's refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance and her insistence on creating a new political party to run for student council, the friends are in for a rocky school year. Along the way they'll learn about politics and popularity, love and loss, and gradually come to be seen, not as the one-word jokes their classmates have tried to reduce them to, but as the full, complicated beings they are just beginning to discover they really are.
