(2) 4-6 After Hannah's best friend Sophie moves away, Hannah meets Emme, the new girl next door, who had the nerve to move into Sophie's old house. Luckily, Hannah eventually comes around. With humor and honesty, Hannah and Emme narrate alternating chapters, describing their friendship's growth and setbacks over the next six months. Mackler has a spot-on understanding of fifth graders and their emotional concerns.
