But when Janice moves away, Claudia must start fourth grade without her. It’s not long before Janice’s letters to Claudia fill with the names of new classmates. Poor Claudia wonders if she will ever find another friend as good as Janice. Join her as she discovers that she already has one--a friend who is closer than she thinks.
