INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Perry, Chrissie

Project Best Friend

(4) 4-6 Penelope Perfect series. In this first book, friendless perfectionist Penelope's campaign to make new girl Brittany O'Brien (nicknamed Bob) her best friend fails until she learns to be less rigid. The story is hampered by exaggerated characters, but the lessons on making friends and coping with stress are worthy, and many young middle-grade readers may sympathize with Penelope's feelings of inadequacy and anxiety.
