Fiona and Preston are Amy Flowers's enemies. Amy thinks Fiona is super mean and Preston is really annoying. There is a seventh grade project and Amy is teaching health to the first graders with Fiona and Preston. While her best friends are in the community garden service project. Surprisingly, Fiona starts acting so nice to Amy. Is Fiona trying to fool Amy or does Fiona really want to be friends with Amy? I like how there is a health hint in the beginning of every chapter. I dislike how there are too many characters in this book; it's confusing to remember all them. Other similiar books are the rest of the Candy Apple series.
