(4) 4-6 Nola shares everything with neighbors Brian, Canaan, and Keith Swift. But when their father leaves suddenly, the boys start excluding her. Without best friend Canaan, Nola tries to determine what makes a true friend, and she's surprised by what she learns. Nola's misguided search for Mr. Swift rings as unbelievable, but Keplinger offers powerful lessons about hope, friendship, and inner strength.
