Best friends 4 ever? There’s no question about it for Zerda and Mia – until now! This school year, everything’s different. Zerda is suddenly invited by cool Leyla to join her girls’ gang, where there’s apparently no room for other friendships. Or is there? When Leyla and her clique invite Zerda into the room to discuss an upcoming class trip, Zerda is uneasy, surprised, and above all flattered. But she has one condition: Mia has to come too! Leyla and the other girls are not happy, but they agree. Mia is also sceptical about the blossoming friendship between Zerda and Leyla. Eventually, Mia and Zerda’s friendship is put to the test when Zerda celebrates her birthday with Leyla and the others instead of Mia. Zerda would prefer not to choose between Mia and Leyla at all and be friends with both, but it’s not possible! For once, that’s something Leyla and Mia agree on. When a Halloween challenge gets totally out of control, Zerda and Mia stop talking to each other completely. Can the two make up again? And can Zerda still be friends with Leyla? Either way, each of the girls grows and learns from the challenges of acknowledging their feelings, apologising, forgiving and being there for each other. After all, that’s what friendship is about!
