By Eleanor Estes
Ages: 10-14
Wanda Petronski is a poor Polish-American girl that wears the same faded blue dress to school everyday. Her classmates, Peggy and Maddie, laugh at the dress and Wanda claims to own one hundred dresses. This outrageous and obvious lie becomes a game, as the girls in her class corner her every day before school, demanding that she describe for them all of her dresses. After Wanda has moved unexpectedly, Peggy and Maddie discover the truth about Wanda.
This cute book addresses the theme of bullying and judging a book by its cover. Peggy and Maddie get to know about Wanda and realize they were not nice to her.
