It’s one of the nominated Rebecca Caudill books for Illinois. Only Emma-Jean goes about it entirely the wrong way – forging school notes and other such bad behaviors to help Colleen. That is exactly what Emma-Jean encounters her doing in the bathroom and it is in that moment that Emma-Jean decides to help the distressed Colleen. She simply does not comprehend social behaviors well and ends up misjudging how to fix one girl’s problem she is having with her friends.Ĭolleen is a sweet girl, the one who never thinks badly about another person – or when she does, feels awful about it. Emma-Jean is one of those kids that is “strange” and very unlike her fellow students. She does not care if she’s popular, if kids are teasing her, or even if people genuinely like her. Emma-Jean is not like other seventh grade girls.
