Be careful what you wish for. A refreshing twist on the Freaky Friday set-up, If I Were You by Leslie Margolis is a fun, touching middle-grade story about friendship, family, and overcoming jealousy.
Katie is jealous of her best friend, Melody. Turns out that Melody is jealous of Katie, too. It’s the end of what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives, before they start middle school, and the girls aren’t on speaking turns. They’ve had a big fight over-what else?-a boy.
When the two girls wish for the exact same thing at the same moment to redo the summer as each other, their wishes are granted. But, as the girls will learn, sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
JUST LIKE ME
Author：Nancy J. Cavanaugh
Publisher：Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Call Number：813.600 / C28
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Just Like Me is a funny, uplifting summer camp story about unlikely friendships and finding your place in the world from award -winning author Nancy J. Cavanaugh.
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my “Chinese sisters,” that’s who. We’re not really sisters- we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we’re nothing alike. They like pot stickers, and I like pizza. They wave around Chinese fans, and I pretend like I don’t know them.
Which is not easy since we’re all going to summer camp to “bond.” (Thanks, Mom) To make everything worse, we have to journal about our time at camp so the adoption agency can do some kind of “where are they now” newsletter. I’ll tell you where I am: at Camp Little Big Woods in a cabin with five other girls who aren’t getting along, competing for a camp trophy and losing (badly), wondering how I got here…and where I belong.
