3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows

(2) YA Ama, Polly, and Jo sealed their friendship in third grade by planting trees; by the end of middle school, the girls have drifted apart. This novel traces a summer in which each experiences challenges and finds herself longing for the other two. The characters are well developed, and their struggles feel real. The end-of-summer resolution is satisfying.
