INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Patricelli, Leslie

Best Buds Under Frogs

(3) 4-6 Rizzlerunk Club series. "Fourth grade, first day, brand-new school, and I'm barfing in front of everyone," says Lily, protagonist of Patricelli's (known for her preschooler and board books) first intermediate novel. Copious black-and-white illustrations enhance this tale of a shy girl befriended by a quirky outcast, whose own (jealous) best friend has just moved back to town. The three-way friendship dynamic is realistic, and humorous details abound.
