About this book

A modern cover breathes new life into this timeless story about friendship, peer pressure, and winning over the bullies.



Tilly Perkins, the new kid in class, is very different. She has wild hair and wears funny outfits (because, she says, “princesses don’t wear jeans”).



Jeff thinks Tilly is a lot of fun. She tells fantastic stories, and she is brave, generous, and has a great imagination. But the other kids think Tilly is weird.



Tilly doesn’t seem to care what other people say . . . but Jeff does. What will happen if he invites her to his birthday party?
