Erica Hale is nervously awaiting her grade 8 class list. Once she gets it, she is extremely disappointed to learn she has been split up from her best friends and is stuck with, her frenimie, Ashley Sparks. Erica is bummed the first few days, but things start looking up when she meets Ben Ripely. This is an AU of Erica's grade 8 life before Spy School. You read this then you read Spy School if that makes sense. Some parts of the SS series wont line up with this book but that's ok because this is an AU :). Enjoy!
