Join Jelly Bean in the continuation of her adventures as she seeks
solutions to the challenges that confronted her in book 1. Michael, her
oldest brother, has dropped out of school and joined the Marines, which
usurps much of her parents' attention. Kylie, the new girl in school,
faces a medical emergency. And Jelly Bean is still forbidden from going
to her best friend's house.
She has to decide how to deal with these dilemmas and more. Along the
way she learns about love, death, pain, relationships, the difference
between right and wrong and the value of friendship. See the world
through the eyes of this forthright fourth-grader as she discovers two
truths about life - that it is always complicated, and always changing.
