That night, Brooke and Aly both slipped their letters under their parents’ bedroom door.

Aly’s letter said:

Dear Mom,

Please make sure you can find a way not to close the Sparkle Spa. Brooke and I—and Charlotte and Lily and Sophie and sometimes Caleb—have worked really hard to turn it into a good business. And we’ve helped a lot of people with all the donations we’ve made.

So many kids at school love the Sparkle Spa. The Auden Angels think that our pedicures give their feet superpowers—remember they won the championship last year?

Please, think about it again to see if there’s room for us. Girls have made friends at the Sparkle Spa, and it makes everyone—especially Brooke and me—really happy.

We don’t want the Sparkle Spa to die.

Love,

Aly

Aly had cried a little bit while she wrote the letter. Especially the last line. She really didn’t want the Sparkle Spa to die.

Brooke’s letter said:

Dear Mrs. Tanner (I’m calling you that because I’m SO MAD at you that I don’t want to call you Mom),

Please, please, PLEASE don’t close the Sparkle Spa! I’m so proud of everything Aly and I have done there. I’m friends with so many kids—especially sixth graders who probably wouldn’t have talked to me otherwise. And I even learn math every time I organize the nail polish bottles. Aly and I are such a good team—we’re not just sisters now, we’re business owners, and it’s SO MUCH FUN. Also, we donated so much money to good places because of the Sparkle Spa. We’re not just helping ourselves, we’re helping tons of people and the shelter animals! Please, please, PLEASE make us space in your new salon! If you don’t, I’ll be mad at you FOREVER.

Sincerely,

Your daughter who is SO MAD at you, Brooke

Brooke did not cry when she wrote her letter. She was just madder than she’d ever been.

“Do you think Joan can help us?” Brooke asked while the girls were getting ready for bed.

“Maybe,” Aly said. “But I think it really depends on the space and if there’s enough of it.”

Brooke sighed. “That salon was really big, though. How much room do you think Suzy’s mom really needs?”

“I don’t know, Brookester,” Aly said. “We’ll just have to wait and see.”
