This was a sweet story about two girls (Moon and Christine) who become neighbors and then find themselves becoming close friends.  As with many relationships, sometimes it can be tricky and being a young girl at a new school certainly has some challenges.

When one of the girls has a medical emergency, it will shake up the community quite a bit and will rally the community to offer support and generally leave such warm fuzzy feelings.

I highly recommend this book!
