Some Friend

(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Pearl is thrilled when sophisticated Lenore begins paying attention to her, but it's clear to readers that Lenore is bad news. Bradby writes with real understanding of the conflicting feelings of a preteen who tries to keep up with the wrong kind of friend, and the book's issues of standing up to bullies, yearning for a friend, and struggling with ordinary family problems should have universal appeal.
