Overview:
Kennedy King is the sharp, funny voice at the heart of this three-book collection. Forced to move to London by her mother, Kennedy starts at Hellington High School, a place she nicknames HELL HIGH, armed with a new phone and a determination to stay connected with her old friends while forging a new path. Cringe Club kicks off Kennedy’s relation-shifting year as she learns the unspoken rules of fitting in, navigating new friendships, and balancing the cringe-worthy moments with courage. In Battle of the Besties, Kennedy faces a nickname she didn’t choose, shifting dynamics within her new crew, and a daunting school trip to a theme park that tests her fear of heights. SOS wraps the year with one more summer twist—a family camping adventure that could either strengthen the bond with her three new friends or stretch every limit. This is fast, fresh middle-grade fiction with heart, humor, and honesty about growing up and finding your people.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This 3-book set follows Kennedy’s first year at a new school, giving readers a complete, immersive arc—from the moment she logs on with “permission to chat” to the summer showdown that tests loyalty, courage, and cringeworthy courage. The trio of titles share a consistent voice: witty, relatable narration that speaks directly to readers who have ever felt out of place, then found their own crew. The vegetarian twist in Battle of the Besties adds a playful, everyday challenge that amplifies the stakes without losing the humor. Collectively, the set creates a binge-reading experience—each book builds on the last, delivering steady character growth, laugh-out-loud moments, and a satisfying payoff for fans of friendship-driven, school-life stories. A perfect gift for fans of relatable, modern middle-grade fiction and for BookTok readers seeking heart and humor in equal measure.
