|  | What Happened on Planet Kid by Jane Leslie Conly
When summer vacation finally starts, 12-year-old Dawn finds herself spending it at her aunt and uncle's farm while her mother recovers from an operation. She's not used to the country life, but luckily, she's not bored-- she makes friends with Charlotte, a girl who lives down the road. As the two become fast friends, they create a special imaginary place that they can call their very own: Planet Kid. It's an amazing and fun land because adults aren't allowed anywhere near it! But the peace and calmness of Planet Kid lasts only for awhile--reality starts inching its way in, bit by bit. Suddenly, Charlotte and Dawn must deal with problems that they've never wanted to confront--will they be able to face them together? AUTHOR: Jane Leslie Conly
