Melissa J. Morgan - Author
A friendship-focused story about fitting in, social shifts and keeping promises when different groups want Natalie’s attention. Its central tension is between new connections and an existing best friendship.
Thanks to Color War, Natalie has started hanging out with some of the older kids. And not just Lainie Wilcox, the coolest girl in the sixth division, but also Logan, the division's most adorable boy. Sure, she has less time to hang out with her fifth-division friends, but they're probably too busy with relay races and swim meets to even notice, right? Well, not exactly. Especially not Tori, who's been appointed unlikely captain of the Blue Team. Natalie promises to help Tori out, but if she doesn't come through soon, the Blue Team will find itself in Loserville, and Natalie will find herself without a best friend.

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.
