A Valentine for Patti

the long version

Patti has a lot on her mind these days. There’s a new girl, Hope, who’s in 5B and has joined the Quarks. Knowing how awful it is being new, Patti tries to make her feel at home—but Hope’s even shyer than Patti! Is she hiding something, as Kate suspects? Meanwhile, Patti’s little brother, Horace, has been moved up a grade, and he’s having a hard time fitting in, too. But Patti’s efforts to help him only make matters worse! And Valentine’s Day is coming up! Should Patti make a special Valentine for a secret someone? Will she get one in return?
