Item Description
The winner of this package will receive a hardback copy of The Ashwater Experiment by Amy Goldman Koss
Grade 4-6-Hillary, 12, has dealt with change all her life. Her free-spirited
parents lead a semi-nomadic life traveling between craft fairs, so she has
attended 17 different schools. After becoming conditioned to this peripatetic
lifestyle, she is dismayed to learn that her family will be spending the next
nine months in Ashwater, CA. From her travels, Hillary has learned that every
school has its class clown, popular clique, brainy outcast, etc., and it doesn't
take long to distinguish these types in her new class. What's different about
Ashwater, though, is that these people become more and more real to Hillary as
time passes. Amazingly, she becomes friends with both Serena, the queen bee of
the in-crowd, and Cass, the smart girl who is a true kindred spirit. Koss's
strong characterizations make the relationships believable, and the story of how
Hillary manages to stay friendly with such different people is a valuable model
for young readers, who often feel forced to choose between certain groups. In
the end, Hillary moves from isolation to making connections; by so doing, her
friendships bloom and she becomes a stronger, more self-assured person.
