The Trouble with Friends

(4) 4-6 Nora Notebooks series. Illustrated by Katie Kath. When her fourth-grade teacher encourages the class to try something new, budding scientist Nora learns about poetry, new pets, gardening, and friendship. Chapters conclude with scientific observations from Nora's notebooks. With realistic character development and classroom dynamics, this third story's charm is slightly marred when Nora's friend touts her new "Arabian Nights look," a device to cover a bad haircut with a turban.
