Grace Krazinsky doesn't like school. She's as mean as a bulldog. She chews up third graders just because she can. Grace once kicked Ben Harper in the private parts because he looked at her funny. Even Principal Carroll is afraid of Grace.
Dorothy is Emily's second best friend. She has known Emily since kindergarten and they live only one block apart. Dorothy is as wise as Emily is bold. Dorothy is the only one who believes that Emily walks and talks with Jesus.
Emily is a very curious and impulsive third grader. Jesus is her best friend. Emily is very loveable, even though she often gets herself into trouble. At her school, Emily holds the record for the most detentions in one month (35!). She loves pizza and chocolate milk. Life is never boring when Emily is around.
