## About this book

Joe and Ravi seem to have nothing in common — one a local kid overwhelmed by a noisy family, the other newly arrived from India — but over one chaotic week they discover a shared enemy in the class bully, and an unlikely friendship. Told in two voices by Sarah Weeks and Gita Varadarajan, it's a common grades 4-7 read on belonging and difference.
