INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Donovan, Gail

What's Bugging Bailey Blecker?

(2) 4-6 Fifth-grader Bailey, a Maine islander, must not only cope with going to a new school on the mainland but also with the ferocious itchiness on her head: lice. Donovan crafts a solidly realistic school story with lots of humor. The island setting and background story of a Revolutionary War reenactment add interest, and both child and adult characters ring true.
