Barnholdt, L. (2011). Fake me a match. New York: Aladdin/Simon & Schuster. Seventh grader Avery is in the middle of adjusting her life to accommodate her mother's impending marriage and the addition of a stepsister to the family. She is hopeful that Blake will turn out to be a BFF since she's just been dumped by her former best friend Sophie Burns. But her adjustment will require quite a bit of patience since Blake is accustomed to having things her way right now. Avery is also busy with the school charity project which involves a matchmaking service, and she decides to match up Blake with Sam, a neighborhood boy who Blake has a crush on. Somehow, things don't work out the way she expects, and she and Sam are matched. When they realize that they actually like each other, Avery must figure a way to keep both Blake and Sam happy. Favorite Line:
"Will is obviously kind of clueless when it comes to middle school politics, otherwise he woudl have taken one look at Sophie's manicured nails and curled hiar and Michael Kors jeans and he would have known that she was not the type of friend that becomes your BFF" (p. 91).
