INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Stauffacher, Sue

Donuthead

(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Franklin Delano Donuthead is afraid of germs, accidents, and anything else that could endanger his personal health and safety; his new classmate Sarah Kervick has tangled, dirty hair, does poorly in school, and seems to be afraid of nothing. Although the story becomes a bit oversweet, the tentative friendship that develops between these opposites is genuinely touching.
