Figuring Out Frances

(3) 4-6 When Abigail's fourth-grade teacher tells the students to try to solve a mystery of their own, she decides to find out who Frances is--that's the name Abigail's grandmother, who has Alzheimer's disease, calls her. But Abigail has an even harder time understanding the strange behavior of her best friend, Travis, who avoids her at school yet is friendly at home. The dialogue and the friendship issues are true to life.
