| Summary: | When Sarai's best friend suddenly moves away, Sarai has to navigate school--and the unfriendly girls in the cafeteria--all by herself. Then new girl Christina moves to town and the teacher volunteers Sarai to show her around. But Sarai thinks Christina is not at all like her-- she never wants to play at recess, she's always got her head in a notebook, and she's so shy! But when Christina writes Sarai a spoken-word poem for her to recite at the class talent show, Sarai learns that sometimes winning teams are made from unlikely pairs! |
