Bookroo's summary

In fifth grade, Jenny is convinced Elsie, the new student with a troubled home life, is a thief. When book club money vanishes, the entire class faces punishment. Can they uncover the truth and learn acceptance, or will their prejudices prevail? As tensions rise, friendships are tested, and secrets threaten to unravel, the students must decide what truly matters. Will they find the real culprit, or is there more to Elsie's story than meets the eye?

From the publisher

Jenny knows one thing for sure - Elsie Edwards is a fat thief who steals people’s lunch money to buy candy. So when the book club money disappears, why is the whole class punished? Nothing’s fair!
