One day Ella was there and the next day she wasn’t. The adults are telling the 8th graders that Ella is fine and she just wants privacy. But Pug, her soccer teammate, and Sadie, the new soccer girl that Ella befriended, can’t just let it go. The girls are determined to find out where Ella is and why she left so abruptly. Even if along the way they stir some other things that people just wanted to forget.
I have to agree with Pug and Sadie - the adults should know better than to tell them just to drop it. I would have done the same thing in middle school. I liked their determination - I did not like one odd coincidence in the story. I’ll say that I did not like how things ended up for Ella in her new school; Sadie deserved better.
