About This Book

Three schoolmates share a series of domestic episodes and small adventures that trace their everyday lives at school and at home. Classroom celebrations, holiday entertainments, neighborhood parties, artistic pursuits involving a studio and a model, and misunderstandings among friends form an episodic plotline that reveals differing temperaments and loyalties. Conflicts are usually social or emotional rather than dramatic, and are resolved through generosity, candid conversation, and practical kindness. The tone balances light humor and warm detail, offering a realistic portrait of friendship, growing independence, and the ordinary trials and reconciliations of youth.
