Now Riley is thirteen years old, and her Emotions can't wait to see what her teenage years will bring. But the idea of starting high school elicits all kinds of feelings, including four new Emotions! Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui enter Headquarters, ready to help Riley succeed in high school.

Although change happens to everyone--and especially to Riley--this chaos both inside and outside of Headquarters is unlike anything Riley and her Emotions have experienced before!"--Provided by publisher.
