(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yumi Heo. Best friends Katie and Jennifer were inseparable. Then Jennifer chooses to play with Roy at recess and Katie is so "flabbersmashed" that her "whole self felt like a bruise." The first-person narration and emotive child-inspired art astutely capture the anger and hurt of a child being left out, as well as Katie's relief at the kindness of her new "walk-in-from-recess buddy."
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
