Ellen Tebbits thought she would die of embarrassment if any of the girls at school learned her secret. But then she met Austine Allen, a new girl in class who was hiding the very same secret. They became best friends immediately. Embarrassing secrets weren't so bad when you had someone to share them with. Even being teased by pesky little troublemakers like Otis Spofford was almost fun when you had a friend that stuck up for you.
But then Ellen did something terrible that made Augustine stop speaking to her. Ellen was really sorry, and somehow she had to find a way to say so. Because without a best friend, nothing was fun anymore. --back cover
Another great story including yet another wonderful set of life lessons. My 8 year old grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed the reading.
This is the sort of book that i'd have my children read, if i were to have them. Ellen does sue learn a lot about his book, as kids will do. One of the things that I found to be kinda stance though is the wanting to clap erasers. Like seriously? Who wants to he dirty? I did like Ellen's friend Austine, because while she was quite different than Ellen, she complimented her, like kids will do. :)
