In this fifth and final book about the kids at West Creek Middle School, a community service assignment has looks-conscious Marcia Faitak volunteering at a nursing home, a job that helps her see inner rather than outer beauty. Mills lays out her themes clearly but not patronizingly, and always realistically and with good humor.
