Worst Enemies/Best Friends is the first book featuring The Beacon Street Girls written by Annie Bryant. Katani, Charlotte, Maeve, and Avery struggle through their first year of Abigail Adams Junior High School. They all hate each other for a specific reason.. Will they ever become best friends? Read on to find out.
Charlotte just moved to Massachusetts from Paris. Her mom is dead and her dad is a writer and the two of them move from place to place periodically. This time, Charlotte got to choose their next destination and she chose Massachusetts, where they used to live before her mom passed away. She loves her new school. She admires the principal, her teacher and some of her classmates. On her first day, she accidentally creates a food fight and her table lunch group, Katani and Maeve hate her for it. Avery thinks she's kind of cool, not totally, but in the middle.
Katani's grandmother is the principal. Her grandmother loves Charlotte from the first day. Katani hates Maeve because in her opinion, Maeve is a spoiled rich girl just because she brings a laptop to school and does all her work on that and her family has a movie theater. In Katani's opinion, Avery is a sporty tomboy with no sense of fashion or organization.
Avery is an adopted child from Korea with divorced foster parents. And again, Katani and Maeve are too girly for her and Charlotte is not athletic. Will she ever find best friends?
Maeve holds a desperate secret about her education. She has no best friends. Katani is tall and mean, Charlotte created a food fight, and Avery is an athletic tomboy.
Once all four girls' teacher, Ms. Rodriguez finds out about their "friendship", she forces the girls to have a sleepover. Katani, Maeve, Avery, and Charlotte all aren't fond of the idea, but they go for it. They all spill their secrets at the sleepover and eventually adopt a dog, Marty, who they secretly keep. And finally, they become the best friends they should have been a long time ago.
If I were to rate this book between a 1-10, I'd rate it a 8.5 because it's a page-flipper! The story of all these girls' life is so interesting.
I hope you enjoy this book just like I did!
