When it comes to stories about her classmates, Gabriella simply can’t keep them to herself. She spills every secret, laughs a little too loudly, and before long the whole school has a new nickname for her: Blabby Gabby.

Mrs. Brenneman, the school counselor, shows Gabriella that gossip is like glitter—once it’s out of the tube, it gets everywhere and won’t come off. Gabriella is stunned. Glittery rumors have left people hurt, friendships frayed, and trust cracked.

But Gabriella doesn’t give up. With honesty, courage, and help from Mrs. Brenneman, she tries to clean up the mess she made. She apologizes, listens without interrupting, and practices keeping things to herself. Little by little, classmates notice the change.

Can Gabriella scrub away the glitter and prove she’s different? Or will the nickname stick? This is a story about mistakes, mending, and the brave work it takes to earn trust back.
