(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Laura Freeman. African American third-graders Nikki and Deja are best friends who do everything together until new-girl Antonia comes between them. The story's familiar theme is bolstered by some fresh details (e.g., Nikki stresses out over drill club try-outs because she realizes she "has no rhythm"). Digital black-and-white illustrations show the girls' personalities and emotions.
