"You"re my best friend in the whole world," Maizon said. Maizon and Margaret know how lucky they are. They live on the same block on Madison Street in Brooklyn, and they"re always together.

The girls can"t go back to last summer, before everything changed. But can they keep their promise to be best friends forever?
