Leslie Patricelli - Author
A lively school friendship story about Lily and Darby forming an unusual club, then facing uncertainty when Darby’s former best friend returns. Expect comic awkwardness, oddball interests and school-prank mishaps alongside questions about belonging.
For Lily, it's the worst first day of school ever. Who would want to be friends with the new girl, whose debut act is to throw up on the playground (on somebody's shoes!)? Fortunately, quirky Darby comes to the rescue. Darby likes frogs and candy and oddball stuff, and soon she and Lily have formed their own club--the Rizzlerunk Club. But before you can say "BFF," Darby's former best friend, mean-spirited Jill--who had moved to London--returns unexpectedly. Can Lily and Darby's friendship survive the British invasion? Peppered with charming illustrations and hilarious mishaps involving "conjoined" frogs, accidentally shaved eyebrows, and school pranks gone awry, this engaging tale of fourth-grade life will have readers wishing they could join the Rizzlerunk Club for real.--Amazon.com

Lily’s first school day goes badly when she vomits on the playground and on somebody’s shoes, before Darby comes to her aid.
Darby and Lily form the Rizzlerunk Club, but Darby’s former best friend Jill returns after moving to London.
The opening includes Lily vomiting on the playground and someone’s shoes. Other described incidents involve accidentally shaved eyebrows, “conjoined” frogs and school pranks going awry; these may merit preparation if mishaps are uncomfortable.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
