Carol — Frieda Friedman

The day Carol moves to the city with her family is the unhappiest day of her life. The small, hot apartment in the noisy street seems more than she can bear.

Carol is so busy feeling sorry for herself that she can't see the fun and excitement of living in the city. Rudely, she turns away from the boys and girls in the neighborhood.

“You have not talent for friends,” her mother says sadly, and Carol is frightened.

Is it true? Is that why she is so lonely?

Then unexpectedly Carol must act quickly -- and there is not time to think about herself.
