Publisher Description:
A young girl who loves Double Dutch is caught in the crossfire of the secrets she, her best friend, and the school bullies are keeping in this emotional middle grade novel.

Delia loves Double Dutch more than just about anything, and she's really good at it--so good she and her teammates have a shot at winning the World Double Dutch Championships. Delia would die if she couldn't jump--but she's hiding something could keep her off the team next year.

Delia's friend Randy has a secret too, one that has him lonely and scared. And while Delia and Randy struggle to hide parts of themselves, their school is abuzz with rumors about what malicious mischief the terrible Tolliver twins--who just may have a hidden agenda of their own--are planning.

Delia and Randy's secrets collide on what should be the happiest day of Delia's life, and the collision threatens to destroy their friendship. Why can't life be as easy for Delia as Double Dutch?
