Poor Daisy!  No one pays any attention to her – squashed in the middle of her family between an older sister and a younger brother.  When she tries to speak up for herself, no one listens.  Finally with the help of her friend, Rosa, Daisy stands her ground.  She spends the night at her friend’s house for a stupendous sleepover.  The next day her family finally listens.  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2007-2008)
