# The Not-So-Perfect Plan - Hardcover

by **Christina Matula** (Author)

**"I can't wait for readers to explore Hong Kong with Holly-Mei. I have no doubt they will love both as much as I did." --Erin Entrada Kelly, 2018 Newbery Medalist and 2021 Newbery Honoree on _The Not-So-Uniform Life of Holly-Mei_**  
  
**Return to Hong Kong in the second book of this charming middle grade series starring Holly-Mei, a girl navigating her new city, new school, and new friendships.**  
  
It's the start of a new year, and Holly-Mei Jones is determined to make the most of it. She has amazing friends, a great field hockey team, and Hong Kong at her doorstep. This semester is going to be perfect . . . right?  
  
Maybe not. Despite their closeness last year, Holly-Mei's friend group seems to be splintering. Desperate to bring everyone together, she ropes her friends into competing as a team in an inter-school tournament across the city.  
  
But as Holly-Mei becomes obsessed with winning, her friends seem less interested in the tournament--and in her new attitude. Will she be able to pull off her perfect plan?
