(2) 4-6 Hyper-rational seventh-grader Emma-Jean doesn't understand her classmates' illogical behavior. After helping nice Colleen, Emma-Jean decides to continue her interpersonal interventions. Inevitably, the more she meddles in others' lives, the messier hers becomes. Emma-Jean's voice is consistently formal and removed even as she takes her first steps toward integrating heart and head. This gently probing book tackles tween-relevant issues with sensitivity and skill.
