Illustrated by
Matt Phelan.
Though she's friends with Julisa, Anna's envious of "two of a kind" Kayla and Melanie. They may not be nice, but they're cool, and when they invite Anna into their group, she must decide if being included is worth losing Julisa. Thoughtfully, and with a light hand, Robbins's spot-on text and Phelan's soft watercolors deal with the hurtfulness of classroom cliques.
