Annie
is starting a new school and she wonders if she will
make any friends. Be careful what you wish for. The
first girl who befriends Annie is Elsie Schneider, the
most unpopular girl in school. When the other
girls see Annie with Elsie, they make fun of her for
hanging around with the "dirty Hun". The year is 1918
and the world is at war with Germany and people around
the country are angry at people of German descent.
So poor Elsie gets picked on all the time. What Annie
soon finds out is that there is something very strange
about Elsie. When she destroys Annie's toys and keeps
just hanging around, Annie wants out of the friendship.
Her opportunity comes when Elsie gets sick and stays
home. Annie has a chance to talk to the other girls and
now she is hanging out with them and making fun of
Elsie. Will Annie realize that she is treating
Elsie badly before it is too late?
