(4) 4-6 Seventh grader Lara prides herself on her ability to help others make friends (even though she doesn't really have a friend herself). When new-student Emily arrives boasting the same skill but with different methods, Lara's status as Friendship Matchmaker is in question. The book occasionally veers into after-school-special territory, but Abdel-Fattah demonstrates understanding of middle-school struggles.
