Book summaryAs they grow older, the lifelong friendship of two 11-year-old girls named Marylin and Kate grows more and more strained. Kate feels hurt that Marylin has seemingly abandoned her for a more popular group of friends, while Marylin is starting to think that Kate is a bit on the childish side. Will the girls' friendship be able to survive this rough patch, or will they grow away from each other forever?Media Reviews"Girls will recognize their own dilemmas here and feel encouraged by the author's honest and sympathetic approach." -- Publishers Weekly "Both voices in this dual-perspective novel are distinct and natural; though the trials and traumas of friendship are well-worn ground, the dexterity and compassion with which this version is written and the fact that the girls do find believable, brave ways to step out of their externally defined roles make it a literary journey worth taking." -- Timnah Card, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Publisher NotesWhen best friend Kate and Marylin find themselves going down different paths in life, their friendship comes to an abrupt halt, but when they begin to miss one another, neither of the girls seem to know exactly how to repair the damage that has been done. SynopsesMarylin and Kate have been friends since nursery school, but when Marylin becomes a middle school cheerleader and Kate begins to develop other interests, their relationship is put to the test.
