Flower Power
Rose, Lily, and Violet, three very different fourth-graders who first bond over their flower names, become fast friends. But parent job loss, brand new siblings, natural disasters, and a bully, bring challenges and crisis to their lives. Will their friendship survive? As we follow the girls through the ups and downs of the school year, they discover that differences can be strengths, assumptions can be dangerous, and friendship is powerful.
