Currently the second book in the series, "Shirley & Jamila's Big Fall" is out. My personal guess for the third book's title is "Shirley & Jamila's Wild and Wooly Winter."

Inseparable friends Shirley & Jamila must adjust to school starting, including Jamila's potential new friend. Soon, Jamila is drawn into Shirley's latest caper, facing down a bully blackmailing others. As they put their plan into action, more secrets are revealed. Great! @gilliangdotcom.bsky.social
