The Trouble with Rules

137 pp. | Peachtree | March, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-440-2 $14.95
(4) 4-6 Nadie has always been best friends with Nick, but upon reaching upper-elementary school, they're faced with a rule: girls and boys cannot be friends. Life becomes even more complicated when new girl Summer ignores this rule. Nadie's narration is much too polished and mature to be convincing as a fourth grader's, but the realistic scenario teaches solid lessons about friendship and individuality.
