KId in the Red Jacket

Ten year old Harold Jeeter is moving from Arizona to Massachusetts and his great fear is that he won't fit in to his new school. Every kid knows how hard it is to be the new kid. For Harold things get even more complicated when a first grader named Molly tries to be his best friend. Molly seems to be a bit on the fringe herself with her clownlike red hair. Now Harold has a dilemma. Does he accept the friendship of Molly and risk being an outcast or should he reject her and try to fit in? 128 pages Ages 8-12
