(2) 4-6 In kindergarten, Sarah and Marjorie promised to be best friends "forever." By seventh grade they've begun to grow apart, much to Sarah's dismay--even though she's the one moving on. The novel is about not just loss but discovery, as gradually both girls gravitate toward doing what they love; still, Willner-Pardo never minimizes the pain of the girls' break in this perceptive, poignant novel.
