Cece never expected her friendship with Dr. Pruitt to take a sudden turn, but when she and her friends discover a secret room in his domain, tensions rise. With their curiosity piqued and Dr. Pruitt's disapproval looming, the friends must decide whether to push forward or back away. But when Analise's brilliant idea for the science fair involves the secret room, their fate is in Dr. Pruitt's hands. Will he allow them to use what they know, or will he continue to hide from them and create even more problems?

 

As the first semester of middle school comes to a close, Cece and her friends have a lot on their plates - soccer tryouts, a band concert, the science fair, and even a ghostly encounter. And to top it all off, Cece can't deny her growing feelings for Jaxon. With everything happening at once, how will Cece navigate the end of the semester?
