Return to Lake View Middle School in the third book of the PERFECT SCORE series from the beloved author of Because of Mr. Terupt.

Eighth grade promises to be an unforgettable year of tears, laughter, surprises, and star power.

GAVIN's days of football glory have arrived, but an accident on the home front upends his family. Ever enterprising, NATALIE anchors a morning news broadcast at school--where she's unafraid to tackle big issues. Being on the outs with his best friend sucks, but the more TREVOR tries to patch things up, the worse things get. Sidelined with a gymnastics injury, RANDI develops a bad attitude and worries that her mom's new boyfriend means changes she won't like. SCOTT discovers hidden talents . . . and becomes a secret weapon on and off the football field.

It's the final year of middle school--a time to play hard, smart, and together!

Praise for The Perfect Star

Praise for the PERFECT SCORE series:
"Told through five students' perspectives, this novel is a heartfelt look at social interactions in middle school, a pointed commentary on standardized testing, and an entertaining read." --Booklist Online

"The students' stories are compelling, and Buyea confidently mixes humor and heart . . ." --Publishers Weekly

"The characters shine, the plots are engaging, and the issues are addressed in interesting ways that will provide readers with many perspectives and much to consider."--Kirkus Reviews

"The narrators give each character a unique personality, allowing listeners to hear individual perspectives in the alternating chapters as the story unfolds. Ozzie Rodriguez embodies the quiet confidence of Gavin, and Robbie Daymond's innocent enthusiasm makes Scott especially endearing."--AudioFile
