        Jessica worries that she will lose her friend Lizzie if she tattles that Lizzie cheats off of her.
        This a great book for grades kindergarten through fourth grade. I would read this book before a test to remind students the importance of doing their own work. It also reinforces that you can help your friends out but they should never steal or use your work.
