“Eight-year-old Eleanor is having the worst summer ever (like pickle juice on a cookie) because her beloved babysitter, Bibi, had to leave her. Free verse prose and line drawings tell Eleanor’s story with warmth and gentle humor as she learns to say good-bye, remember good times, write letters and forge new friendships. Reading this lovely chapter book, I felt as if Eleanor were my new friend, and young readers will, too. (For ages 7 to 11.)”—Tiffany, Grass Roots Books & Music, Corvallis, OR
