Jessica Feeny, a burn victim, joins Tom's 7th grade class. The students are upset about her appearance and aren't quite sure how to react to her. Almost by accident, Tom and Jessica become friends and help each learn what it means to be kind and generous.

This was kind of a weird read -- it's a fairly short story and it really doesn't have a lot of plot. I did not, however, find it an effective portrayal of life in 7th grade. The students have names like Darlene, Jessica, Tom, Courtney and Jeff.
