This third volume about third-grader Winnie perceptively examines the feelings of envy and insecurity that can arise among best friends. Winnie's friend Zoe is a champion speller, and friend Vanessa is a terrific actress, but Winnie doesn't know where her talents lie. With gentle humor, Jacobson reflects Winnie's conflicted emotions. Graceful black-and-white sketches are by turns pensive, warm, and open.
