Quirky. Different. Happy. Mp>Hattie's mom says, "You be you, Hattie. You're the best you there is." Hattie is unafraid to stand up to the boys of fourth grade and show Annie what being best friends means. Hattie personifies what we want for our daughters. Individual. Confident. Kind.

In spite of trying to do the right thing, and he really did try to do the right thing, eleven-year-old Jase Freeman seems to sink deeper into trouble each day. He didn't mean to listen in on conversations he had no business hearing. He intended to show respect for his teachers and never question his mom ... but, what's a guy to do when he knows stuff he shouldn't know, his best friend is acting like a jerk, and doing the right thing seems way too difficult? Exactly what does it mean to have his friend's back? How can he possibly be respectful when his anger spins out of control? And why is it so important to "remember who you are and whose you are"?

Eleven-year-old Jase Freeman is confused when the line between his dreams and his reality blurs. How can climbing hills in his dreams make his legs hurt during the day? He realizes the multi-colored creature in his dreams is leading him. But where? Secrets, the school bully, strange dreams, and trouble at home are about to collide and Jase has decisions to make. Can people really wish on stars? Does God hear the prayer of a mixed-up boy just trying to figure it all out?
