(3) 4-6 In order to get the handsome Mike Humphrey to notice her, sixth-grader Mitzi takes an extreme measure: she lies and tells Mike her mother is dying. To add to her problems, her mother is in a terrible mood because she's trying to quit smoking, and Mitzi's best friend finds another friend. The escalating reverberations of Mitzi's lie are told with humor and sympathy.
