Herbie learns that his best friend Raymond has to move to Texas in just a week. There are many realistic and emotionally satisfying details to the school story, but the timeline seems rushed (the family puts their house on the market and completes the sale in a week) and the ending, in which Raymond comes to school on Monday after his parents change their minds, is disappointing.
