(3) 4-6 Matilda (a.k.a. Mattie or Miss M.), newly thirteen, navigates middle school with her best friends, Ariel and Nicki, by her side. After performing a "magic" ritual, though, things go wrong: Mattie's mom's agoraphobia worsens, Nicki's baby brother gets sick, and Ariel betrays Mattie (or does she?). The friends' troubles, some life-alteringly serious, others less so, are delicately and thoughtfully explored.
