And Bryce's Granddad Chet helps her out, which is pretty nice of him. Change One: Juli starts fixing up her front yard.This mean comment leads to two changes for Juli: The eggs incident gets even more complicated when Bryce tells Juli the reason they won't eat her eggs: his family thinks her house is a dump. When Juli finds out in eighth grade about the chucked eggs, she's super upset. And he keeps doing this for two whole years. But Bryce's family is afraid to eat the eggs, so Bryce throws them out.

Juli's chicks grow into hens that start laying their own eggs, so back in sixth grade Juli began bringing eggs over to Bryce's house just to be nice… or, you know, because that guy is seriously so cute. Not long after the tree saga, the eggs incident happens. In the end she loses this battle, but the tree really changes the way she looks at the world-and she's also pretty sad that Bryce didn't try to help her out. When folks try to chop down Juli's favorite tree, she refuses to climb down-she's a fighter this one. First they have to face the saga of the sycamore tree. This sycamore tree and those science fair eggs become super important to Bryce and Juli's relationship. Plus she's a smartie who likes to do well in school and at the fifth grade science fair. But she also happens to be a strong gal who loves to climb her favorite sycamore tree and look out across the world.

And Juli? Well she's still goo-goo eyed over Bryce. Or when she hatches six baby chicks for the fifth grade science fair, he's pretty peeved. So when she climbs the huge sycamore tree to save his kite, he's annoyed. Yikes, right?Īnd even though Bryce doesn't like Juli, he sure does spend a lot of time telling us how obnoxious she is. Or when Bryce accidentally sparks a fight between Juli and Shelly Stalls, which ends with Juli getting Shelly into a headlock. But then later Juli helps Bryce cheat because she feels bad for her crush. Like when Bryce cheats off of Juli's tests without her knowing. So over time, Bryce and Juli get into some scuffles due to their conflicting feelings. Want to check out the play-by-play in all its original jumbled glory? Then click on our chapter summaries to the left.) So to make the story clear, we've put everything chronologically in this summary.

(By the way, Bryce and Juli tell us their tale a little out of order. Now here's the longer version: when Bryce Loski and Julianna Baker meet in second grade, she thinks he's the cat's pajamas, but Bryce thinks Juli is annoying as all get-out. Needless to say, our boy and girl are in for a bumpy ride. Here's the situation: girl likes boy, but boy doesn't like girl.
