Margaret visits both the temple and a church and isn't really impressed by either. Her class has a Christmas-Hannukah pageant, and while she sees tension between the groups, she doesn't feel drawn to either of them. She shows the PTS girls her dad's Playboy. She attends the 6th grade square dance and receives an invite to Norman Fishbein's party, along with the rest of the class.

Margaret starts to follow the rules of the girl club, including going to get her first bra. Her dad hires Moose to cut the grass after cutting his hand on the new lawn mower, and Grandma buys a membership to the Lincoln Center, which allows them to spend time together. Mr. Benedict struggles as a teacher, with "peeping" happening, and the girls compare their boy lists, but Margaret leaves off Moose because of Nancy.

Margaret Simon is 11 and has just moved to New Jersey with her parents, mostly to get away from her grandmother Sylvia. On their first day there, she meets her neighbor Nancy, who will be in her class at school. On the first day of school, she joins Nancy's club and is surprised to find her teacher is a man, Miles J. Benedict, Jr., who is in his first year as a teacher. The girls name themselves the Four PTS.
