(4) 4-6 Beauty is starting sixth grade. She's too shy, the popular kids think she's a loser, and her mom is dating her teacher. Then she befriends Alane, who's ill with a rapid aging disorder. Some of Beauty's behavior is inconsistent; Alane's character is better developed. The story is a touching, if maudlin, journey toward self-discovery.
