Suzie Green has only dreamed of having a best friend. Someone to vent to and giggle with-and someone to help her face the Select Seven at school every day. Those girls are boy crazy, they talk in codes, and they call Suzie "teacher's pet." It's not easy being a teacher's kid! And it's not easy being eleven, going on twelve, without a best friend. Then Co Co Langdon moves in next door. Suzie has never met anyone like Co Co. She's from France and has traveled all over the world. And she's never been to school, having been tutored all her life. But now that Co Co is in America, she will go to school for the very first time. And Suzie will finally have a best friend by her side! First published in 1955, Best Friends follows two girls through one unforgettable school year as they take on mean girls, a cranky neighbor, boys, and the search for a missing neighborhood dog. In the end, they'll find out what it truly means to be best friends.
