Book Description:

When Ellie's family moves to a new town, she's sure
she won't fit in.
Nobody else likes to read as much as she does,
the other kids at school play "new kid Bingo"
behind her back, and even the teachers can't seem to
remember her name.
But when the students need someone to help them rally
against long lunch lines (and bad food), Ellie is on the case.

And with shorter lines and better food in sight, can
friendship be far behind?
For any kid who's ever felt like an outsider looking in,
Ellie's journal captures the frustration, the nervousness,
and yes, the occasional happy surprises of
making a fresh start.

Author says:

Ellie McDoodle: New Kid in School got great reviews
from teachers, librarians and bookstore people.
It's written from the heart --
I've been that scared new kid,
I know the pain of not fitting in,
and I know the happy endings that result
from not giving up on something worthwhile.  :)

Something we learned from the first book:

Kids LOVE the extra drawing tips at the back of the book.
So we included more in both the hardcover and the
paperback versions of this book. :)
