Right before she starts her junior year of high school at the school she's been at since kindergarten, her aunt tells her possibly the biggest news of her life. They. Are. Moving. Eli now must deal with the colossal change from "Small Town" in nowhere's ville, to the big scare of Beverly Hills, California.
