A young girl flees the last day of school after convinced she failed kindergarten by a trio of bullies.
[ This novel contains whimsy, tangents, onomatopoeia, repeated phrases, made up words, and a kindergartner. Reader discretion is advised. ]
Kadie was planning to have the best day ever! It was the last day of school and she was ready to celebrate. Unfortunately, that feeling didn't even last until the morning bell.
Some older children taunted her through the playground's gated divider and convinced poor Kadie she had flunked: dooming her to suffer the humiliation of repeating kindergarten.
Light on words and heavy on tears, the distraught girl flees; not only from the safe haven of the grade's playground, but from school itself. Far from rational, she walks the neighborhood; truant: eventually working towards a master plan [for a six year-old] while walking blocks and encountering people along the way.
