My Worst Friend

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Meredith Johnson. When Jennifer learns that classmate Sara has a brain tumor, she vows to be nicer to her "worst friend," only to discover that the acerbic Sara needs her taunts and teasing far more than her sympathy. Realistically humorous illustrations accompany a story notable both for its dead-on middle-grade dialogue as well as for its unsentimental look at a serious subject.
