Lacey and Mako

High school isn't easy-especially when anxiety, friendships, and big dreams are part of the mix.

At ESSA High, a school where Emotional Support Stuffed Animals are the norm, Lacey finally feels like she belongs. With her best friends and Mako by her side, life seems pretty great! But with school camp and a much-anticipated wedding approaching, Lacey starts to feel like her bond with Jazzy and Sophie is slipping away. Suddenly, Lacey's world feels more complicated than ever.

When illness strikes, Lacey fears she'll miss out on everything important and that her friendships might not recover.

Can Lacey find the strength to hold it all together?

Will her friendship with Jazzy and Sophie survive?
