Prairie Evers;

This charming, coming-of-age story is perfect for fans of Joan Bauer and Sheila Turnage.

Prairie Evers is finding that school isn€t all it€s cracked up to be. She€s always been homeschooled by her grandmother, learning about life while they ramble through the woods. But now Prairie€s family has moved north and she has to attend school for the first time, where her education is in a classroom and the behavior of her classmates isn€t very nice. The only good thing is meeting Ivy, her first true friend. Prairie wants to be a good friend, even though she can be clueless at times. But when Ivy€s world is about to fall apart and she needs a friend most, Prairie is right there for her, corralling all her optimism and determination to hatch a plan to help.

Wonderful writing and an engaging narrator distinguish this lively story that celebrates friendship of every kind.
