INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Schanen, Adriana Brad

Quinny & Hopper

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Greg Swearingen. Quinny, who rivals Junie B. Jones in both volume and breeziness, moves next door to quiet, analytical Hopper the summer before third grade. He's initially baffled (and a little appalled) by Quinny's loudness, but she eventually wins him over--until snooty Victoria barges her way between them. Schanen nicely balances the protagonists' alternating perspectives; Swearingen does a great job of depicting their emotions.
