When Elsie Edwards arrives in Jenny's fifth grade class, nobody likes the fat, sullen new student. Elsie steals food and lunch money. Soon, she is getting blamed for everything that goes wrong. Day by day, as Jenny learns how difficult life at home is for Elsie, she begins to understand and befriend the unpopular girl. Ever since her divorce, Elsie's mother has openly criticized and rejected her lumpy daughter. Even worse, just when Elsie finally starts losing weight and feeling better about herself, her mother wants to pack her off to boarding school! It's not fair! Written by a former school counselor and teacher, Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade is a wonderful story about the power of trust and friendship. This lively tale has been chosen by children in 13 states as their favorite book. It will be one of your favorites, too.
