When her mother's new job forces eleven-year-old Lily to move to Riverside Heights and a different school, it seems like nothing is going right. However, she soon finds some unlikely friends--class nerd Gina and Nate, an adult with Down syndrome--who teach her important lessons about life, loyalty, and forgiveness. Strong characters and an engaging plot make for an enjoyable read.
