Since moving to Ledesia the Lusher girls have struggled to catch-up with their peers in school. It hasn't been easy, but who can blame them? One second they are doing basic maths, the next they're doing organic chemistry and physics.
Despite her usually lazy ways, Cinnamon threw herself into trying to complete all her homework, though not really out of any sense of scholarship. She has been warned by her parents that if she does badly in school she will have to quit her part-time job working at Sprouted! with Natalie Greenheart. Although she didn't think she had it in her, Cinnamon has come to love her job and is determined to keep it. Even if that means doing homework.
Noma's school problems come from a much different source. Moving to a new town and being thrown into a new class with strangers has brought out an unexpected line of shyness in the young girl.
Her parents have noticed how she hadn't made any close friends just yet, though, and have discussed working harder to see that she can spend more time with people her age to help her adjust to the new town. Unfortunately that means either Caleb or Cicely will have to find the time and energy to take their middle child out for play-dates, and that doesn't look like it will happen any time soon...
