About The Book
Mimi and her Periwinkle Tower pals are back in this sweet and silly sequel to It’s Not Easy Being Mimi! But after a series of friendship mishaps, will they still be able to stick together forever?
Six members loyal,
six members true.
We’ll stick together,
whatever we do!
Mimi and her best friends Yoshi, Tonya, Boris, Hunter, and Sofie have formed the Gum Club, a special club where they eat gumballs from Boris’s gumball machine, recite the special Gum Club Promise to always stick together, and talk about important things, like the tunnel they are digging behind the Periwinkle Tower where they might even find dinosaur bones or buried treasure. But it’s hard to keep a group of six friends together no matter what. Yoshi has to go to Reading Boot Camp all summer for help learning to read. Tonya is getting annoyed with Yoshi for playing his ukulele too loudly, and she gets bossy while they’re digging in the tunnel. Then Mimi says something that hurts Yoshi’s feelings and she is having trouble apologizing. Is the Gum Club bubble about to burst?

Excerpt
Springtime at the Periwinkle Tower
Springtime at the Periwinkle Tower
Hi, it’s Mimi again! Reporting from the Periwinkle Tower, home of the Gum Club.
You’ve probably heard about the Periwinkle Tower. It’s that tall apartment building in the middle of Pueblo del Mar. That’s Spanish for “Village by the Sea.”
Remember? We were in the news a few months ago when we won the Pueblo del Mar Holiday Decorating Contest. It was really Boris who won it for us with his gigantic stegosaurus.
It’s funny. Last year I did everything I could to keep our group apart. That’s because one of the Periwinkle residents drove me bonkers. I won’t say who.
