    At age 9, Nicki and Maudie become instant best friends, vowing to keep writing notes and emails until they turn 13... "or one of us gets a pimple." But cliques and the pressures of becoming a teen threaten to break them up at this vulnerable time in their lives. Hilarious and heartbreaking, Dear Maudie deftly examines the challenges of growing up and keeping friends.
    Reviews
    "There are many stories where young girls mature into adulthood but few that observe them existing happily as they are. Tweens are often misunderstood, and for good reason. They have their own language, clothing styles, and tastes in movies and magazines, but when it comes to friendship, Willens gives tweens a good name by proving that they have their priorities straight."
