A Girl Called Al

by Constance C. Greene

Another old favorite from my childhood!

Alexandra just moved into the apartment building.  She is our nameless narrator's new best friend.  Al is a self-proclaimed nonconformist, from her pigtails to her fractured family (divorce).  Al is intelligent and needs companionship.  With our narrator, Al finds a friend and a sense of home.

After all of these years, this is still a charming story.
