Twelve-year-old Rosie and Bailey live next door to each other and have been friends their whole lives. They don’t always get along but when Granny Torrelli makes soup disagreements get worked out. A new girl, Janine, has moved into the neighborhood and Rosie is jealous. Janine gets Bailey to teach her Braille and Rosie is furious. In the past Rosie had asked Bailey to teach her Braille and he had refused. Jealousy is a hard emotion to control, and Rosie has buckets of it. Granny Torrelli has her own story of jealousy, and she shares it with Rosie and Bailey. After the friends hear the story, they rethink their actions.
In my journey as a grandmother, I hope to have as much wisdom as Granny Torrelli. I love books about grandparents and this one is a keeper. I can’t wait to share this book with all my grandchildren.Published In: 2003
