Goodbye Stranger

Written by Rebecca Stead

This brilliant novel by Newbery Medal winner, Rebecca Stead, explores multiple perspectives on the bonds and limits of friendship. Bridge is an accident survivor who’s wondering why she’s still alive. Emily has new curves and an almost-boyfriend who wants a certain kind of picture. Tabitha sees through everybody’s games-or so she tells the world. The three girls are best friends with one rule: No fighting. Can it get them through seventh grade?
