Phoebe G. Green has never given much thought to food, but when a new
French classmate enters the cafeteria with a lunchbox full of unusual
foods, a new love is born. Spunky and likable, Phoebe is a budding
foodie who's sure to win over your heart--and stomach!
Phoebe loves her pet fish, Betty #2 (named after Betty #1, may she
rest in peace), making lists, and her best friend Sage. But when
Camille, a tall French girl, arrives at school with unusual lunches,
Phoebe can't seem to think about anything else, including her friendship
with Sage. Thanks to Camille, Phoebe discovers goat cheese, butter
lettuce, and cilantro (although she's convinced that's not a real word).
She's determined to get invited to her new friend's house for dinner to
see what other mysterious food Camille eats. But what about Sage? Can
Phoebe make a new friend and keep an old one?
