Confidentially Yours #4: The Secret Talent

Perfect for fans of the Cupcake Diaries and the Babysitters Club, this series features best friends Brooke, Vanessa, Heather, and Tim, who are in charge and confidentially yours when writing their middle school newspaper’s advice column.

Tim Antonides is feeling pretty good about sixth grade. He’s even begun to branch out and make some new guy friends. The only thing that could ruin his awesome reputation is his big secret—he performs Greek folk dances with his twin sister, Gabby . . . complete with a super embarrassing outfit. Only his family and closest friends know, and he’s going to make sure it stays that way.

But when the class bully, Ryan, discovers Tim’s hidden talent, he blackmails Tim into completing a list of almost-impossible tasks. Can Tim get out from under Ryan’s thumb and stay true to who he is without becoming the biggest laughingstock in school?

• An Embarrassing Secret: He’s a Greek folk dancer—complete with a seriously embarrassing outfit. If his new friends find out, his reputation is toast.
• Making New Friends: All Tim wants is to fit in and make some new guy friends. But it’s hard to act cool when you’re secretly doing a bully’s dirty work.
