From the Back Cover
Just when she thinks the Middles might not be so bad, things start going disastrously wrong--
AND, AS ALWAYS, ABBIE WU IS TOTALLY FREAKING OUT.
Not only does she discover that her locker has been hijacked by a complete stranger, but it turns out the culprit also happens to be her new science partner. To make matters worse, there's an addition to the Wu family--a diabolical cat she's convinced is out to get her. Now Abbie has to figure out a way to make it all work before her life becomes a total catastrophe!
