Heidi Green - Children's Literature
Jerry Dinh is new in town and anxious to fit in. He is especially eager to make friends with his soccer teammate and next-door neighbor, Stookie Norris. Stookie has a quick temper, but he's the quickest player on their team, the 'Cats. He's also a very popular and generally likable guy. When Stookie asks Jerry for a favor, friendship seems a sure thing. When the favor is to take care of his pet gerbils for a couple of days, and when it involved a sleepover to learn how to do it, Jerry is only too happy to do it. But after the Norris family leaves for their trip, something terrible happens. Will Jerry be able to make things right before Stookie returns? Or will their friendship end when it's only just begun? Matt Christopher realistically portrays the anxieties of being the "new kid" and seeking friendship. Readers who enjoy this book may be interested in other stories in the "Soccer 'Cats" series. 2002, Little Brown and Company,
