Suzie Green has only dreamed of having a best friend. Someone to vent to
and giggle with--and someone to help her face the Select Seven at school
every day. Those girls are boy crazy, they talk in codes, and they call
Suzie "teacher's pet." It's not easy being a teacher's kid! And it's not
easy being eleven, going on twelve, without a best friend. Then Co Co
Langdon moves in next door. Suzie has never met anyone like Co Co. She's
from France and has traveled all over the world. And she's never been to
school, having been tutored all her life. But now that Co Co is in
America, she will go to school for the very first time. And Suzie will
finally have a best friend by her side! First published in 1955, Best
Friends follows two girls through one unforgettable school year as they
take on mean girls, a cranky neighbor, boys, and the search for a
missing neighborhood dog. In the end, they'll find out what it truly
means to be best friends.
