Paula thinks Maggie is the bestuntil mean girl Veronica says otherwise. Suddenly Paula starts to notice that Maggie is big and clumsy and her clothes are sort of snuggish. Rather than sticking up for Maggie Paula ignores her old friend and plays with Veronica instead. Luckily when Veronica turns on Paula Maggies true colors shine through. This moving friendship story has all the heart and emotion of The Giving Tree and Kevin Henkes's Chrysanthemum. The gorgeous artwork and important message make this a book to treasure. Its truly a classic in the making.
