Ferris by Kate DiCamillo

In the summer before fifth grade, Ferris is facing more chaos than she can handle!

Sibling drama, ghosts, and raccoon invasions make this heartfelt story full of joy, surprises, and plenty of laughs — all with DiCamillo's signature (and beloved) dip into what makes us tick as members of a community, as a family, as people.
