The kids from The Perfect Score are back for their 7th grade year. This year is all about secrets; everyone has secrets: Gavin is finally playing football, but the coach has something against him and won’t let him play - Gavin tells everyone football is great, but Scott knows otherwise - Scott’s football experience is also not as expected, he is terribly bullied by other team members. Randi has been invited to an elite gymnastics camp where she meets an unexpected relative. Natalie wants to get Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Magenta back together - but she’s been told their problems are a secret so this is harder than she anticipated. And Trevor . . . Brian has moved out, but Trevor is afraid Brian is headed for big trouble.
Buyea has written another engaging story, well told through the perspectives of each of the characters. Pulling their stories together is easy - they are all friends from last year (read book 1 for the back story) however, The Perfect Secret isn't as seamless as I would have liked as the stories resolved too easily and neatly, probably to keep the book from exceeding 300+ pages. An advisable buy, especially if you have book one.
