RIVERDALE DIARIES SC (2025)

"Welcome back to Riverdale! Author Sarah Kuhn returns to take middle school's most fabulous diva, Veronica Lodge, through a journey to the most perfect birthday party ever. Veronica Lodge has always been the most fabulous and popular kid in her class. But ever since she started middle school, she's become a small fish in a much bigger pond. Now, Veronica is terrified her classmates will find out her wealthy dad is out of work. Worse, she has a birthday coming up, and her parties are always huge, grand events. If she can't have a party this year, then everyone will know the truth about her father, and she just can't deal. When Veronica learns about the annual School Spirit Contest -- which happens to have a cash prize attached -- she makes up her mind to win the contest and use the money to fund her festivities. Her only obstacle is the infuriatingly cool and older Cheryl Blossom, who's handily won the contest two years in a row. Can Veronica save her birthday? She's Veronica Lodge. What do you think?"

"Sarah Kuhn and J. Bone deliver an authentic and funny tale of middle-school life as they reimagine the iconic gang from Riverdale into contemporary middle-grade students. Full of lively dialogue and stunningly hilarious art, the dynamics of friendship and school struggles are as classic as the characters themselves--and fresh and engaging for today's readers."
