Lone Bean

"Bean" Gibson is so excited about the first day of third grade, not even her m-e-a-n MEAN older sisters Rose and Gardenia can bring her down.
But Bean's year gets off to a bad start--her best friend Carla has made a new best friend, and Bean has to start music lessons. Bean picks the violin (the cello is too big), and tries to find new friends, but music lessons are a lot of work, Goody-Two-Shoes Gabrielle is prissy, and Terrible Tanisha is a bully. And Bean's mom is always at work. Bean h-a-t-e-s HATES third grade!
LONE BEAN is an entertaining read about spunky Bean Gibson and how she learns what it means to be a good friend. And that it's possible to have more than one.
LONE BEAN is a co-publication with Amistad.
