12yo Allie from England and Sage from California are swapping houses for a week. Red-headed Allie feels out of place in her family of five, and refuses to leave when their dog Max gets sick just before they are to leave. She gets a chance to meet blond Allie and her mom - dad isn’t coming on this vacation. While the two girls are completely different in personality, meeting gives them both a chance to help the other. 

A sweet book about finding friends in unexpected places. While not a stand-out must read for every student, certainly has plenty of charm.
