Description

Middle school can be complicated, especially when rumours start spreading! In Juicy Gossip, part of the fun Candy Apple Books series, seventh-grader Jenna Sampson finds herself in an embarrassing situation when her parents open a juice bar at the local mall. Not only does she have to work there, but she also has to wear an outfit she would rather keep hidden from her classmates.

Things get even worse when Jenna discovers that her school newspaper may be shut down. As the editor, she needs a way to attract readers. Soon, the juicy gossip she overhears at the juice bar gives her an idea: a gossip column could save the paper. But spreading rumours can hurt people's feelings, and Jenna soon learns that her plan may create more trouble than she expected.

Funny and relatable, Juicy Gossip explores friendship, school life, embarrassing family moments, and the consequences of sharing other people's secrets.
