Description

From the New York Times bestselling World of Click by Kayla Miller: Besties: Crush It. Trent and Sawyer's plans to crush winter carnival games are in peril when a crush of the heart threatens to undo their duo.

School's out and Trent and Sawyer have their eyes on the prize: To be kings of the ring toss, achieve winter carnival glory, and bring home the coveted Big Banana. After hours of practice, nothing can get in their way ... until they start going their separate ways.

Sawyer is hurt by his best friend's changing priorities when Trent catches feelings for a classmate's visiting cousin. While Trent splits his time between old friends and new, Sawyer grumpily doubles down on Mission: Big Banana – with or without his partner in carnival crime. Is their epic best friendship headed for a breakdown ... or a breakthrough?
