Dream On
Shannon Hale, illustrated by Marcela Cespedes
Cassie, a white fourth grader in a cash-strapped large family, finds a magazine notice saying she has won a grand prize. Certain that a vacation, car, or waterbed could transform her circumstances, she also feels unseen at home and distant from her best friend, Vali. A classmate turns Cassie against Vali and her teacher, Mrs. Farmer. After an apology, Mrs. Farmer encourages Cassie to value her sensitivity and individuality.
