(4) 4-6 Arlie has always struggled to understand her perfectionist mother. When her parents are seriously injured in an accident, her mother falls into a coma, and a strange new girl appears in Arlie's fifth-grade class. Could she possibly be Arlie's mother as a child? Despite some good writing, the premise is never quite made convincing.
