After moving from California to Massachusetts eleven year old Jill is eager to make new friends. She eventully becomes good friends with DeDe, a girl with downs syndrome. Then Jill becomes good friends with the other girls in her neighborhood. They're fun to be around, but refuse to be Jill's friends if they have to hang around DeDe. Now Jill has to choose between the 'cool' girls and the girl who could possibly be the best friend that she has ever had.

This was a really good book. I've read it multiple times, and am starting to get an urge to read it again. The story is very entertaining and fun to read. It's an interesting book that I recommend to girls who love dramatic stories about pre-teen girls.
