 If
a Tree Falls at Lunch Period
by Gennifer Choldenko
Kirsten is a
character we all can understand. Her only friend, Rory, is hanging
out with the “popular” girls, her mom is trying to change her in to
Minime, and her new friend Walk, much to her Mom’s chagrin, is
becoming her new best friend. A GREAT book for Moms and daughters to
read together.
