'"Where do you run when your former best friend tips their lunch straight into your lap?"
When Alice Chang starts out at her new school, everything isn't quite as rosy as she'd dreamed. First, she falls out with previous best friend, Gigi, and then she learns that the only after-school club still available is GAS (Girls Achieving at STEM) which Alice considers extremely uncool. However, with the help of an inspirational teacher and two new best friends, Alice discovers that being cool isn't always what it looks like in teen magazines and that being yourself and being smart can be the coolest thing of all.'

'Bee, Alice and Cleo met at the after-school club GAS (Girls Achieving at STEM) and are now inseperable. Together they have entered the prestigious Think League Challenge and Bee is determined to win. However, it sometimes feels like an uphill battle. Alice and Cleo don't seem to be taking the competition as seriously as her, and her family are more interested in her role as bridesmaid at her aunt's upcoming wedding. Bee sets out to achieve her dreams on her own, but soon discovers that going solo isn't all it's cracked up to be and that friends and family are more important than she thought.'
