Three friends, two worlds, and one truly sublime notebook—that's the premise of this one-of-a-kind work of interactive fiction by three middle school girls who are in the act of writing a paranormal thriller while also getting to the bottom of a concerning issue facing their school. The second book in the Very Genius Notebooks series by Olivia Jaimes.
Three middle school girls—Misha, June, and Ollie—have already completed writing one book set in the fictional land of Deltovia, but just as they are on the verge of literary stardom, they've got a bigger problem: The school district lines at Lake View Middle School are set to change, meaning their best friends could suddenly be in a different school next year. Meanwhile in their work in progress, a strange laboratory called The Epsilon Facility is holding all kinds of mysterious experiments that could lead to all kinds of danger. While the two stories seem wildly different on the surface, the two worlds are more closely related than it may initially seem. So what can these three friends do to stop the lines and investigate the Epsilon facility? Join Misha, June, and Ollie on their high-stakes writing journey to find out!

      The heroes of Deltovia embark on a new adventure. The unwelcome redrawing of school catchment boundaries captures the attention of the friends fromThe Chronicles of Deltovia (2022) as seventh grade winds to a close. Misha Schmidt, June Okoro, and Ollie Chen begin another co-authored story--this one set in a training facility for psychic teen assassins--that parallels and reflects their real-world concerns. The trio collaborates (loosely) via a shared notebook in which their fictional contributions mix with their drawings, journal-like musings, and conversational messages to one another. After the notebook accidentally lands in the hands of their classmates, a mysterious note ("you are so cute") appears on one of the pages. Misha thinks she knows who wrote it, while June has a plan for finding out for sure. Ollie, for her part, is focused on her interest in Evan, a fellow piccolo player from band. Jaimes' narrative voice for each of the girls, displayed in different fonts, is just right: earnest and bright for Misha, determinedly ambitious and a bit perfectionistic for June, and innately cheerful for Ollie. Their drawing styles and self-portraits mirror their personalities. The names and illustrations cue ethnic diversity, and one classmate uses a wheelchair. Jaimes nicely captures the everyday power of friendship and trust to heal hurts and solve problems. Funny, low-key, and charmingly relatable.(Illustrated fiction. 9-13)
