I really like this book and I would HIGHLY recommend reading it! It has violence (a little bit) and can be a great help to all those who can't find the perfect book.

The lyrical and moving middle-grade debut from YA author Kody Keplinger!
Eleven-year-old Nola Sutton has been best friends and neighbors with the Swift boys for practically her whole life. There's the youngest, Kevin, who never stops talking; the oldest, Brian, who's always kind and calm; and then there's Canaan, the ringleader and Nola's best-best friend. Together, they have a summer of fun adventures planned.
But then everything changes overnight.
When the boys' dad leaves without even saying good-bye, it completely destroys the Swift family, and all Nola can do is watch. She tries to hold on to them, but they are changing. Kevin stops talking, Canaan starts hanging out with mean boys, and Brian is never around. Nola just wants things to go back to the way they were -- the way they've always been.
Is Nola strong enough to save the Swift boys from themselves, or has she lost them forever?

This book is so good is about 3 boys and one girl that are friends and {}Spoiler alert if you haven't read the book{} The girl's name is Nola and there are 3 boys that all all best friends and one day the swift boys dad and mom got in a argument and the swift boys dad left to somewhere then all the swift boys were really sad and they kind of changed because of it so Nola did not want them to be sad and WANTED to find out where the swift boys dad has gone and what happened to him later then Nola asked mom if she could go to her grandma's house for spending time with her or cleaning and the reason she actually wanted to go to her grandma's house is because she wanted to see if the swift boys dad is if there dad is dating some one else and she also wanted to find out id the swift boys dad is living with some one else>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> then later on Nola went back to her house she did find some clues if the swift boys dad is dating or living with some one else when Nola went to the swift boys house her best best friend was well not talking to her and for some reason he was mad at her when Nola went to his room she tried to talk to him but he did not talk back to her and also his room was very dirty the boy got mad and pused Nola out of the room and shut the door on Nola's face right in FRONT of HER {}SO MEAN{} after all that few days later Nola was in a shop and the boy that was her BEST BEST FRIEND was there with the boys that bullied Nola. Nola went over to her best friend and asked why are you hanging out with them and he said nothing then the buliies started saying stuff to Nola and the lady that works there in the shop told all the boys to go out from the shop
This book review is really good I liked how you said a lot about the story. What was your favorite part?
My favorite book is the swift boys and me . If you like mysterious books you would like this book. It’s a very great book , age recommendation is 12+ , its not really innapropriate its just about relationships. My favorite part Is when Nola was moving away but her bestfriend that likes her wants to ask her out . so on july 4th they went out to see fireworks . he gave her a note, it said “ do you wanna go out ? .. “ she said “yea” but sooner or later she was gonna move away ):
