Best friends Katie and Jennifer were inseparable. Then Jennifer chooses to play with Roy at recess and Katie is so "flabbersmashed" that her "whole self felt like a bruise." The first-person narration and emotive child-inspired art astutely capture the anger and hurt of a child being left out, as well as Katie's relief at the kindness of her new "walk-in-from-recess buddy."
