Stacy doesn't understand the new student Annie: she keeps her lunch in a strange place, is missing her front teeth, and her whistle scares away the birds. Having to be her partner in class is hard for her, but when she tries the potatoes Annie has for breakfast, Stacy discovers that being different can be fun. A school story about friendship and accepting differences.
Fourth volume in the series The New Kids of Polk Street School, originally published in 1988 and illustrated by Blanche Sims.
For children aged 6 to 9 who are starting to read chapters and enjoy stories about friendship and school life.
