One week until school starts and she has to be the new girl again. But if she can be Uncle Potluck s apprentice, she ll have important work to do during lunch and recess. Work that will keep her safely away from the other fifth graders. But when her custodial wisdom goes all wrong, Mattie s plan comes crashing down. And only then does she begin to see how one small, brave act can lead to a friend who is hound dog true.
