Goodbye Stranger

Image result for goodbye stranger rebecca stead 

This is mostly the story of Bridge, a girl who almost dies several years ago and is now in 7th grade.  Things change in seventh grade - one of her best friends now has developed and is getting attention from boys - maybe the wrong attention.  The other is all of a sudden into women's rights.  Bridge is trying to manage everything plus negotiate her first friendship with a boy.  

Interspersed with this story is another story, with a mysterious character who seems to also be struggling with friendship issues.  

It isn't until the end that everything comes together.  Very powerful book that deals with middle school social issues.  Excellent book!!!
