Fix It With Friends

The Rumor That Went Too Far

A heartwarming children’s chapter book about friendship, rumors, honesty, and teamwork.

One Whisper.

One Story.

One Friendship in Trouble.

At Parkside School, problems don’t always start with arguments.

Sometimes…

They start with a whisper.

When a small misunderstanding about Emma begins to circulate through the classroom, the story changes a little every time someone repeats it.

Before long, everyone thinks they know the truth.

But no one actually does.

Emma suddenly finds herself at the center of a rumor she cannot stop.

And the damage is spreading.

When Rumors Spread… Someone Has to Stand Up for the Truth

That’s when the Friendship Fixers step in.

Five friends.


Five different strengths.


One mission:

Fix problems before they grow bigger.

Sophie notices the small details others miss.

Jasper turns problems into plans.

Maya understands how people feel.

Leo finds patterns others overlook.

Zara brings creativity and heart to every challenge.

Together, they follow one powerful rule:

Don’t spread the story — fix the problem.

But stopping a rumor that has already spread across the school might be their biggest challenge yet.

Can they uncover what really happened before the truth disappears completely?
