If Ellen Tebbits had one wish, it would be that she and Austine Allen were friends again. The two girls had been best friends, starting from the day at dancing school when they discovered they had an awful secret in common. But the secret wasn't so awful once they shared it. From then on, Ellen and Austine shared all kinds of secrets and adventures. On the first day of fourth grade, they even wore identical dresses so they'd look like twins. But that day they had a terrible quarrel. Ellen slapped Austine! They didn't talk to each other anymore. Ellen knew it was her fault, and she missed her friend terribly. But she didn't know how to begin to say she was sorry. --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. :)
