Growing up is even harder when you've recently moved.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Annie is a young girl who finds her life turned upside down when her family moves from a small, quiet town to a suburb of Los Angeles. She finds that starting out in a new school is tough; especially when you don't know how to act around the people. At first, Annie tries to make friends with girls in the popular crowd, thinking that they will expose her to many friends. But by the end of the book, she realizes that with people, the inside counts more than the outside, as she meets and makes friends with two people who are outside of the "in" crowd. "Your Friend, Annie" is an excellent book about growing up and fitting in, a task which is tough enough for kids. The book is a day-by-day account of Annie's struggle to fit in at school and at home, as she tries to learn who she is and who are her real friends. The book also adds a humorous touch as Annie describes the antics of her family, from her brother's love of insects, to her mother's new interest in self-help classes. Overall, I recommend this book for anyone, particularly a young person who has recently moved.
