From the New York Times bestselling World of Click by Kayla Miller: Besties Trent and Sawyer’s plans to crush winter carnival games are in peril when a crush of the heart threatens to undo their duo. School’s out and Trent and Sawyer have their eyes on the prize: To be kings of the ring toss, achieve winter carnival glory, and bring home the coveted Big Banana. After hours of practice, nothing can get in their way…. until they start going their separate ways. Sawyer is hurt by his best friend’s changing priorities when Trent catches feelings for a classmate’s visiting cousin. While Trent splits his time between old friends and new, Sawyer grumpily doubles down on Mission: Big Banana–with or without his partner in carnival crime. Is their epic best friendship headed for a breakdown…or a breakthrough? New York Times bestselling author Kayla Miller, coauthor Jeffrey Canino, and illustrator Sarah K. Turner deliver a vibrant portrayal of middle school friendship in this latest title in the Besties series.

From the New York Times bestselling World of Click, besties Beth and Chanda set sail on their third adventure. But their dream cruise is not all smooth sailing as they navigate the changing tides of friendship and sisterhood. Busy besties Beth and Chanda are all aboard for a relaxing ocean getaway! Chanda fully embraces being on “Sunshine Time.” The only items on her to-do list are showing off her summer fashions, snorkeling, lounging on the beach with Beth, and sightseeing with her family—including her soon-to-be brother-in-law, Seth, and his parents. Scratch that; Chanda is so at ease that she hasn’t even made a list! Beth is…less relaxed. Back home, her big sister, Lisa, is preparing to move away for college in the fall. Missing out on precious time with Lisa before she leaves has Beth feeling bluer than the ocean. Making things worse, she’s anxious about seeming like a wet beach towel on this once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Can the two friends find their sea legs and ride the emotional waves together?

Trent and Sawyer make their Besties series debut with a bang and a crash! These two friends never back down from a challenge, whether it presents itself at the skate park or in the school hallway, but will that determination get them in over their heads? Between helping with their friend Tyler’s RPG campaign, catching streams of pro skateboarder Trixie Sampson’s new video series, and—oh yeah—homework, Trent and Sawyer are more than a little busy…but when Trixie announces a competition that might result in the boys getting to meet her and her crew, how could they resist entering?! The duo become single-minded in their quest to be the lucky “Trixsters” to win the prize, but it’s not easy pulling off the perfect prank and capturing it on video. With their friends growing resentful of being unwilling targets and after drawing the ire of the class prank queen, Nat, the buddies soon find themselves losing at their own game. As an all-out prank war spins out of control, Trent and Sawyer realize they might have pranked themselves by starting it.
