When it comes to long-distance friendships, a delayed response or no
response at all can lead to plenty of hurt feelings. Cross-country pen
pals Molly and Olive find that out the hard way when an unanswered gift
causes Olive to go a little crazy, spinning tales of trips to Paris and
dinners with royalty in an effort to make Molly jealous. Readers can
follow the wild ride themselves by reading the girls' correspondence and
listening to their alternating first- person points-of-view.
