This week's pick is Billie Standish Was Here by Nancy Crocker (YA CROCKER).
11-year old Billie Standish is used to being on her own. As an only child of parents who had wished for a son and the girl at school none of the other girls want to be friends with, Billie knows how to be invisible. During the summer of 1968 Billie's small town of Cumberland looks like it might be engulfed by a flood and to Billie it seems the only people who haven't fled are her parents and herself. Then on a trip to get the mail Billie runs into her elderly neighbor Miss Lydia, and soon the two are close friends. But when something unimaginable befalls Billie, will she and Miss Lydia be able to move on and make peace with what happened? Will Miss Lydia's friendship save Billie from her invisibility? Find out in Billie Standish Was Here.
