Back Cover Summary[]

Some kids (like Hannie) think Amanda is a snob. But Karen doesn't care. She and Amanda are friends. They have lots of fun together, diving for pennies in the pool and dressing up like Lovely Ladies.

But now there's bad news! Amanda's family is moving away. Hannie thinks this is funny. But Karen is so sad. How can she say good-bye to one of her best friends?

Summary[]
