(2) 4-6 Delly, eleven, is constantly in trouble for her impulsive and pugnacious behavior. Mysterious new classmate Ferris Boyd--skittish and mute--helps Delly learn to restrain herself as they slowly build a friendship. Hannigan's strengths are in a richly conveyed setting, with much of the novel taking place outdoors, and in her ability to depict with tremendous compassion a potentially unappealing main character.
