(2) 4-6 As Agnes begins sixth grade, her last year of elementary school, she still has just one friend; she is still "too known for [her] niceness"; and she remains easy prey for the class bully. Things begin to change when a new boy moves to town. Keeping readers inside Agnes's head, O'Dell shows the impact Joe has on her heart. This is a thoughtful, gently humorous, and resonant cusp-of-coming-of-age novel.
