(4) 4-6 Lara (The Friendship Matchmaker) has hung up her matchmaking hat, but she keeps seeing people she can help. The arrival of a Sudanese refugee student shakes up the middle-school social scene in unexpected ways, and Lara is forced out of retirement. But will her sneaking around ruin her new best-friendship with Tanya? Though occasionally heavy-handed, Abdel-Fattah's tackling of prejudice and cultural difference is admirable.
