 The first twelve animals to arrive at the Emperor’s celebration became the twelve animals in the Chinese New Year cycle. Since the rat finished first, his year symbolizes new beginnings – fresh starts. But fresh starts mean changes, and for Pacy that change comes unexpectedly when her best friend Melinda moves across the country to California. Changes in her friendships, family, and school challenge Pacy to discover that though things in life change, they can still be wonderful.  (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards Program, 2009-2010)
