 I read a book in second grade, which would have been the late 1980s. I can’t remember the name of the author or title. It’s about a girl named Megan who moves from Oakdale, South Dakota to a new state (I want to say Ohio but I won’t swear to that). She meets a girl named Heather and they become friends. She also meets a girl named Cheryl, the classic popular mean girl, and the bulk of the book is Megan trying to work through these friendships. I vividly remember a scene at the end where Megan sticks a wad of gum in Cheryl’s hair, and I remember the passage: But it wasn’t Heather’s hair she stuck the gum in, it was Cheryl’s! Cheryl let out a blood curdling scream.”

With these details I have not been able to find anything on any website I’ve searched and I’m at a loss! I’d love to let my daughter read it because I remember I loved it so much.
