BOOK SYNOPSIS: Eleven-year-old Wendy’s best friend has moved away and Wendy’s mother, recently remarried, is focusing her attention on her three rather difficult step children. Wendy feels very alone and lonely as she begins searching for a new best friend.
When she tries to join Marcy’s tight-knit, popular group, she is treated meanly. Next she
turns to Honor, a bright, attractive black girl, but Honor remains strangely aloof. Only goofy Jeremy really seems to like Wendy. Wendy keeps wishing a new girl would appear in class, and presto! – one day Ingrid enters the room Blonde and doll-like, Ingrid seems to be the always and forever friend Wendy has been hoping to find. Before the semester is over, though, Wendy discovers that appearances can be deceiving, and true friendship is often found where you least expect it. Many young people will see themselves and their concerns reflected in this warmly realistic story.
