Watch Out! Man-Eating Snake — Patricia Reilly Giff

Stacy Arrow's first day of school isn't going well at all. She was only trying to help when she told Jiwon, the girl with the black hair, that her drawing of herself looked like a cow.

"You have to be nice to a friend," says Stacy's sister Emily, and suddenly Stacy knows what she has to do. But can her plan win her a best friend? Snakes or no snakes, Stacy's ready to try her hardest.
