Georgia Watson and the 99 percent campaign
"After years of moving, Georgia's family is staying put. What's the best part of her new forever home? Fellow science fan Izzy! Georgia feels lucky to be starting sixth grade with her first true friend. But when Georgia's science project accidentally reveals a secret-one Izzy trusted her to keep-their friendship unravels. Even worse, Georgia's archenemy swoops in to steal Izzy away, leaving Georgia cut off and lonely. How can Georgia fix her mess? She's surprised to find the answer in a science fact: genetically, all human beings are more than 99 percent the same. Really? Georgia can't believe she and the friend-stealer are even 1 percent the same! But as Georgia fights to win Izzy back, she discovers that enemies can struggle with loneliness too-and Georgia is stunned to discover why. It will take a 99 percent campaign to make things right"--
