"'Andrew Jessup lived next door . . . He was my best friend until last year . . . that was when Andrew Jessup moved away.' A little girl laments the loss of her companion and playmate, and the things they shared . . . Then one day, Madeline Havenblower moves in and becomes a new friend -- but Andrew Jessup remains her best 'faraway' friend . . . Accessible and appealing." -- School Library Journal
