On a whim, Avalon Kelly entered the PhotoReady app's spring break getaway contest to New York City-and won! But right away, this trip of a lifetime isn't turning out as planned. Avalon's best friend isn't one of the winners, which means that not only will Avalon have to venture to the Big Apple by herself, but she will have to share a room with strangers. Just when Avalon is about ready to abandon the trip entirely, one of the fellow contest winners, the cute and mysterious Tate, disappears from the group, and the Room 609 girls must use clues from their photographs if they have any hope of finding him. Will the hunt for Tate and the view of New York City through her camera lens be enough to convince Avalon to stay for the full week?.

Kimi Takahashi, a girl who lives up the street, invites Addie to go to the park and play lacrosse.

Although she's overweight and can't keep up with the faster, stronger girls, she loves the game. Now she has to find a way to lose her excess weight and lose it fast or risk getting cut from the team.
