Author: E.L. Konigsburg
ISBN: 0689300077
Plot Summary: Elizabeth lives alone with her mother in an apartment building, in a neighborhood full of fancy houses. She is ill-at-ease at home and at school, but soon meets a girl who changes her life: Jennifer, a self-described witch who dresses, speaks and acts differently from any other person Elizabeth has met. The two become friends, performing "spells" together and bonding in their respective loneliness. A falling-out over a pet toad drives them apart briefly, but when they manage to make amends, they find their friendship, although different, has changed for the better.
