The Secret Summer of L.E.B.

Belonging to the V.I.G.s and B.s—the Very Important Girls and Boys—is the ultimate achievement in Lizabeths sixth-grade class. Of course being a V.I.G. or B. has a price. It often means being something she isnt or saying things she doesnt mean. But the price doesnt seem too high—until she comes to know a boy who for no accountable reason has become a class outcast. When Lizabeths friendship with him grows she finds her loyalties torn trying to keep the secret friendship from the V.I.G.s and B.s.NLAPW Childrens Book Award.
