Description
Her parents' worries about danger on the city streets keep her from hanging out at the playground, and all her friends on 163rd Street tease her about it. All except Amir, the new boy on the block. He looks different, acts different, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Yet everybody likes him. It seems as if he has a gift for making friends. When Doris's father loses his job, she has even less time to spend outside with her friends. But between Amir's friendship and her determination to keep her family together, Doris finds she has her own gifts to give. ISBN:9780618611232
