(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Drazen Kozjan. In her third book, Julia Gillian navigates middle school while sparring with her third-grade "reading buddy," an anti-reader. Meanwhile, Julia Gillian's dog, Bigfoot, is growing frail; a moving sketch by Kozjan shows the two curled together on the vet's table, girl singing to dog about their life together. McGhee adeptly braids these plot strands together, and the result is tender and lovely.
