(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Lexie must win a trip to the San Francisco sendoff for Friendship Dolls bound for Japan: her mother, who has sent Lexie to live with her grandparents, will be singing at the farewell ceremony. After a classmate swipes Lexie's contest-entry letter--and wins--the girls navigate a friendship. Fully realized characters and a historical backdrop make for an involving story.
