DESCRIPTION

Wanda Petronski just wants to join the fun of having friends, like everyone else. But in 1930s small town America, a Polish immigrant doesn’t easily fit in. When Maddie’s best friend, Peggy, starts to tease Wanda, Maddie knows this isn’t right. When the teasing doesn’t stop and the Petronskis move to get away from the town’s prejudices, Maddie is wracked with guilt. She soon realizes that allowing her friend to be a bully can be just as bad as acting that way herself. Determined not to let her fear get the best of her again, Maddie braves the scorn of her classmates and stands up to them, making an unlikely friend in the bargain.

Adapted by Mary Hall Surface from Eleanor Estes Newberry Honor book. Directed by Allison Narver.
