Book Description:
"Ten-year-old Howard Jeeter's life is temporarily destroyed by a cross-country move. His first contact in Massachusetts is Molly, an intrusive first-grader, whose attempts to be friendly drive Howard to distraction. Park writes in a witty and bittersweet style about the awkward, super-sensitive age of early adolescence; her humor reflects and sharpens the sensibilities of her readers in the areas of family and friend relationships. Another first-rate addition to the middle-grade popular reading shelf."--(starred) School Library Journal. Reading level: 4.5.

I can't believe it! How can my parents move me clear across the country, away from all my friends, and expect me to act like it's some big adventure? Especially when the new house is on a street called Chester Pewe. Don't they realize how humiliating this is going to be? Still, I could handle it if it weren't for Molly Vera thompson. As the new kid in town, I can't afford to be seen hanging around with a six year old, even if she is my next door neighbor. Of course, when you're lonely, you'll be friends with anyone...almost
