Firegirl

Firegirl is by Tony Abbott. When a badly burned girl joins Tom's 7th grade classroom, the entire class must learn how to respond to her. Despite her appearance and the fact that Tom is afraid of Jessica, he can't stand the reactions of his classmates and finds himself befriending her. A wonderful tale of acceptance and overcoming one's fears and prejudices.

Ratings: 5th grade - 9 out of 10.
