Five girls from very different backgrounds enter seventh grade and find the one thing that may help them survive High School - each other They form the "Coop Clan" and together experience the rigors and high points of high school in Jamaica. In only their first term at St. Viola's, the "Coop Clan" play mischievous pranks in class, go on an adventure-filled field trip, take on the class bullies, participate in the school's carol service and generally get into lots of mischief. Though each girl has her own struggles, they persevere and learn that though life (and High School) has its ups and downs, few things can compare to the power of true friendship.
