Allie is excited to be in sixth grade, the highest grade in the school. She has confidence when she is helping children cross the street as a crossing guard, doing gymnastics in the school field, or arm wrestling the boys at recess. However, her confidence wavers around Patty, a popular 6th grader, whose cute, pink, "Nike" sweatshirt and deep blue, designer jeans make Allie's new clothes from Woolworths look cheap, dull, and starchy. Things get worse as she starts to deal with how wide and short her feet really are. Buying shoes like her friends' is not an option for her. Allie can only get shoes from the special shoe store for hard-to-fit feet. Her struggle to fit in causes her to wonder why God would give her such wide, short feet and she fears that she will have to wear "kiddy" shoes with no heels to the spring dance. Allie discovers the difference between bad friends and good friends and begins to believe that she truly is very special.
