The Ashwater Experiment

Hillary's been used to a nomadic life travelling around to art and craft fairs with her hippie parents. Now they're going to spend nine months house-sitting in Ashwater, California and she's not sure if she'll like it. So, she assumes this experiment is being arranged by the Watchers. The ever watchful eyes are upon her. Entering 7th grade, Hillary rather automatically divides her classmates into roles; the popular kids, the brainy ones and always a class clown. With the friendship of the class queen, Serena, she gains acceptance to the popular clique but her friendship with the egghead Cass gives her a real buddy.
