Meet Julie — Megan McDonald

Julie Albright doesn't want to move, even just a few miles away. Moving means leaving her best friend, Ivy, and her pet rabbit, Nutmeg. Worst of all, it means leaving Dad now that her parents are divorced. Then Julie finds out that her new school has a basketball team, and life starts looking up -- until the coach says no girls allowed. When Julie decides to fight for her place on the team, some of her new classmates tease her, and now even Ivy won't talk to her. Will Julie ever feel at home in her new school -- and her new life?

Meet Julie is the first in a series of beautifully illustrated books about growing up during the 1970s.
