Theyve been together all their lives. And in this small factory town where everyone knows everything about everyone, thats not necessarily a great thing.There are thirteen desks in the seventh-grade classroom. Thats because Renni Deans father got a promotion, and the family moved to Grand Saintlodge, the nearest big town. Rennis desk is empty, but Renni still knows their secrets; is still pulling their strings.When Orchid Mason arrives and slips gracefully into Rennis chair, the other seventh graders dont know what to think. Orchid--who was born in New York City but just moved to Fawn Creek from Paris--seems to float. Her dress skims the floor. Shes wearing a flower behind her ear. Fawn Creek Middle might be small, but it has its tightly knit groups--the self-proclaimed "God Squad," the jocks, the outsiders--just like anyplace else. Who will claim Orchid Mason? Who will save Orchid Mason? Or will Orchid Mason save them?Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor winner Erin Entrada Kelly explores complex themes centered on family, friendships, and staying true to yourself. Those Kids from Fawn Creek will enchant fans of Rebecca Stead, Jerry Spinelli, and Kate DiCamillo.
