A late Christmas present that was delivered today!

From the back cover:"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, 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."

Starting to read this book today.

Finished reading this book on May 20, 2021. It is a beautifully written book for young readers, with a focus on the 8 - 12 year age group. I think this would make a wonderful 'Chapter' book to be read aloud by teachers in school to their classes. There would be lots to discuss and ideas to be shared by a group of children after the reading of each chapter. It is a story of kindness, friendship, life challenges and decisions that can be made to make our corners of the world a better place.
