Wow, this is a powerful book that really impacted my life. Read it in high-school and will have to reread because I was left with many questions. It is about a poor child that wears the same thing to school everyday. I don't remember if she took a lunch to school or if she was clean. I am now 50 so my memories may not be correct but I remember smelling a light stench of unclean bodies while reading this book (Yes, I completely lose myself in my books. I feel their pain, feel their anger, fear, and joy, and even smell their smells). Either way, she is bullied by the other students. She tell others that she has many dresses in her closet but yet wears the same dirty one every day. Even though her other classmates constantly ask her about her wardrobe as a way of mocking her, she continues to discuss her massive dresses and always maintains a positive outlook on life, her home life, and her schooling. At the end of the book, she is pulled from the school (possible due to homelife), and one of her classmates goes to her house to find out what happened and takes a peek into her closet and finds 500 hand drawn pictures of beautiful dress wallpapering the closet.
Got to reread this book as an adult in order to really comprehend what is occurring in this book.
