(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Matthew Cordell. Fourth grader Eleanor's (Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie; Like Bug Juice on a Burger) friendship with Pearl is tested by the arrival of a fascinating new classmate. Add the stress of a class play and a first crush, and young readers will be hooked. Eleanor's dilemmas are realistic, familiar, and engaging; Sternberg's free verse is sharp, and Cordell's line drawings humorous.
