Ernestine & Amanda

Sixth grade looks like a drag for Ernestine until Wilhelmina, a tall, smart, super cool newcomer, gets her to enter a school speech contest. Amanda loves sixth grade, especially her secret club for the cutest girls in her class - and that definitely doesn't include fat Ernestine Harris. Amanda may be able to keep Ernestine out of C.L.U.B., but she can't keep her out of her life. Who would have thought Ernestine would turn up at C.L.U.B.'s reception for the contest winners? Or that Amanda and her family would be eating Thanksgiving dinner at Ernestine's house? And who would have thought that having Ernestine around might not be so terrible after all?
