Publisher's Notes
First Line: "This picture has a dollop of peanut butter on one edge, a smear of grape jelly on the other other, and an X across the whole thing. I cut it out of a magazine for homework when I was six years old."
Industry Reviews
"This touching story will leave readers pleasantly drained, satisfied with the happy ending, and eager for more about Hollis's future."
