The Best of Arlie Zack

by Hazel Hutchins and Ruth Ohi

Arlie is the new kid in town and having a tough time. He overlooks the friendship offered him by a girl in his class and an old lady with a magical house in favor of the apparently less complicated "membership" in a local gang. Arlie's confused struggle toward friendship and his search for the father he has never known form the core of an extremely moving yet realistic story.
