Sunday Chutney by Aaron Blabey

This is a fun book about a girl who's always the new girl. Her parents are always moving from place to place so she's been all over the world and has seen many things.. but as a result she doesn't have any friends and is always 'the new girl' in school. Despite this however, Sunday has a really bright outlook on life. Right after she says something depressing she bounces back with something funny or quirky. She has an amazing imagination and is not afraid to use it. For most of the book her imagination seems to make up for her lack of friends, but at the end she says that making friends is something she's good at and shows her with a group of girls.

This is a good book to give a kid who moves around a lot or one moving once to a new place. It voices the fears kids have in these situations, but is fun enough to almost side-step the unpleasant feelings associated with moving. She has a lot of interests and is really up beat. A fun book.
