War on State Street

By the author of Alex the Great

Eight-year-old Ester Sandbourne is fed up with her neighbors, the Thrashers. In the first few days of summer vacation, they steal her bicycle, smash her homemade teepee, and make life miserable for everyone on State Street. Just when it looks like the summer is ruined, Ester gets her best idea yet-declaring war on the Thrashers. Together with her friends Cecil, Sally, Bob, and Hector T, she plans the wackiest, messiest mud ball and rotten tomato fight ever against the Thrashers. Will Ester and her friends be able to defend State Street, or will the Thrashers terrorize State Street for the rest of the summer?
