(2) 4-6 Nine-year-old David and thirteen-year-old Primrose share a unique, volatile friendship. Both have absent parents, and Spinelli skillfully portrays their fragile psyches, leading them to simultaneously cling to and lash out at one another. Though the children's wounds may heal too cleanly in the end, their fierce devotion to each other makes everything they do seem possible.
