(4) 4-6 In her third book, Ellen is left to her own devices during summer break when her best friend goes away to camp. Ellen meets a new friend and accidentally becomes a volunteer at Peacehaven, a home for seniors. Set in a small town in Canada, the story has an old-fashioned feel that will appeal to some readers (though others may find the voice contrived).
