A very nice book
Peach and Plum
A New York Times Best Seller … one day
Chapter One ofPeach and Plum opens with the season finale of the TV summer hit, My Name is Cool. And if you’ve read the first chapter, you’ll recognize everyone in the My Name is Cool tv show theme opener.
And if you haven’t read Chapter One, it’s still fun to watch 
“……Maverick Elem(entary) is a place where mean-girl bullies get kicked out of their own clique. Where 5th graders, who are legendary sports stars, hog the kickball court. It’s where spontaneous dance battles with teachers pop off. A place where resting snooty-faced girls with snarky little attitudes turn on each other, and where shy little girls are forced to speak up.
There are tomboys who love sports, and popular quick-witted, mouthy boys who are the center of attention. It’s about boys and their googlie-eyed crushes on girls with tenth grade attitudes, and boys who just want to play a game of kickball like their life depended on it. There’s an overflow of positive Black male role models, and a season of birthday parties where the children discover their unexpected tribe.
Maverick Elem is a place where teachers can be neo soul bohemian, city slick hipster-ish, dapper-dan clean, and/or legendary. And last, but certainly not least, Maverick Elem is the setting for an actual H-E-A in the near, distant future…(happily ever after).

It is also a place where two little girls become a Peach and a Plum.
