Illustrated by
Patrice Barton.
Rosie is so fed up with a constantly one-upping classmate that she does something unconscionable to the girl's plant-growing project--and then finds a way to make things right. There's not a misstep in sight, from Wortche's sure plotting to her subtle ending. Barton is uncanny at capturing the body language that says so much about children's moods and attitudes.
