For the first time in the history of her Grade 3 life, Brianna walks into Room 109 without one thought about Helper of the Day. What a surprise when she sees her name on the board! And guess what? There’s an opening for her to join the Cheese Girls too! All she has to do is pick Kinsley to go with her to deliver the library books. But does Brianna have what it takes to be a Cheese Girl? Or does she even want to be one? Maybe spending time with a real friend is better than being included in a club.
