The Perfect Secret

The Perfect Secret is the second book in the Perfect Score series.

Synopsis
Sixth grade at Lake View Middle School ended with a big surprise: the kids learned that two of their teachers, Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Magenta, are related. Now the class is on a mission to find out why the two don’t speak to each other, and fix the problem. But getting their teachers in the same place at the same time will be tricky now that Mrs. Woods is no longer at Lake View. And anyway, how can you force people to talk?

All too soon, the kids discover that their teachers aren’t the only adults hiding something. Then everyone‘s secrets start spilling out.

GAVIN finally joins the football team--a dream come true!--but Coach Holmes refuses to play him for reasons that also threaten to tear Gavin's family apart. When RANDI attends an elite gymnastics camp, she uncovers a startling family connection. SCOTT starts researching an article for the school newspaper and stumbles right into a hornet's nest of lies. With his loser older brother, Brian, out of the house, TREVOR's life is loads better--until he realizes that only he can save Brian from getting into deep trouble. NATALIE's top goals: (1) find out why Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Magenta no longer speak to each other--a mission shared by all the kids--and (2) teach a certain someone an important life skill without anyone knowing.

It's tough keeping secrets. And tougher still to deal with the fallout when secrets spill out. Only by banding together will they be able to face the challenges that come hurtling their way.
