(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Mysti's mom is agoraphobic and her dad is in a coma. Her best friend (and former fellow outcast) Anibal Gomez's "social experiment" to try to be cool means being nasty to Mysti in public. Luckily, two new misfit friends help Mysti get through it all. Resilient Mysti is sympathetic and, yes, courageous.
