Publisher's Synopsis
Cherry Andrews is a bright, beautiful, redheaded girl. On the outside, she looks like a normal ten-year-old, but Cherry just happens to be a child prodigy. Not only has she won multiple competitions playing the piano, but she has also tested at a genius IQ level. She is now preparing to enter into the eighth grade after having skipped yet another grade because her teachers and parents feel she needs more of a challenge. Now, instead of having a carefree life like other ten-year-olds, Cherry deals with regular eighth-grade classes like American history, an advanced algebra class, piano performances and recitals, making new friends, and fitting in all while being three years younger than her classmates. To make matters even more complicated, a close family member is involved in an accident and is left with life-threatening injuries. Cherry finds this particularly difficult, and her faith in God is tested several times. Cherry strikes up a very important friendship with a classmate named Shelly. As the two become best friends, Cherry feels more confident in her surroundings and feels more comfortable opening up. She is even asked to a dance by a very handsome boy! Cherry finally feels that she has a grasp on her life and the way it's going. That is, until a tragic turn of events takes place. This just leaves Cherry to wonder, how much can one little girl handle?
