Synopsis 12-year-old Rosie has had an argument with lifelong friend Bailey, the blind boy next door who is closer than a brother. Bailey is mysteriously angry because Rosie secretly learned to read Braille. Even worse for Rosie, the pretty new girl who just moved in across the street has been flirting with him. As she cooks an Italian dinner, Granny Torrelli advises Rosie by telling stories from her own childhood that are surprisingly similar to what Rosie's going through. As Granny Torrelli cooks each separate dish and imparts her wisdom, sprinkled with Italian phrases, the situation gradually looks better to Rosie until the problem is solved and Rosie and Bailey are friends again. Written by Newbery Medal recipient Sharon Creech, author of WALK TWO MOONS, THE WANDERER, and ABSOLUTELY NORMAL CHAOS. A 2004 American Library Association Notable Children's Book.
