Synopsis: Lizzie Logan bursts into Heather's life the day Heather moves to Mole Street and then bursts right out. "Eight? Holy crab cakes! You're nothing but a baby," she screeches as she stomps away. Lizzie's back, though, before the moving truck is unloaded. "I'm giving you a chance," she announces, "to be my best friend." Heather isn't sure she wants the job. Lizzie Logan is dangerous. She bosses Heather around, scares her with tales about man-eating spider plants, and smokes (sort of). But Lizzie is also full of adventure. Who else would take Heather fishing, share her dog, and invent her own parade? Eileen Spinelli has created a charming and funny story about a relationship between two unlikely soulmates who ultimately bring out the best in each other. Lizzie and Heather deal with issues other elementary grade girls know all about. They face jealousy, wonder if they can have more than one best friend at a time, decide if they should play with popular or unpopular girls. Figure how to make up when they fight, and learn how humor helps them get along and that they don't have to have their own way every time to have fun together.
