Bookroo's summary

Renata 'Wolfie' Wolfman prefers solitude and facts over friends, but when quirky neighbor Livingston 'Fly' Flott joins her in a cardboard submarine adventure, she faces a new challenge: embracing companionship. As they navigate imaginary oceans, Wolfie must decide if friendship is worth the risk. Will she find that being alone isn't always better, or will her mission to retrieve a baseball prove otherwise? Dive into a tale where imagination and friendship collide, leaving Wolfie to question her solitary ways.

From the publisher

A classic story of imagination, friendship, adventure and speeding through the ocean in a cardboard box. For fans of Ivy & Bean, Judy Moody or Nate the Great. Wolfie and Fly is an early chapter book at its simplest and best. Our heroine, Renata Wolfman (Wolfie) does everything by herself. Friends just get in the way, and she only has time for facts and reading. But friendship finds her in the form of Livingston Flott (Fly), the slightly weird and wordy boy from next door. Before she knows it, Wolfie is motoring through deep water with Fly as her second-in-command in a submarine made from a cardboard box. Out on a solo swim to retrieve a baseball vital to the mission, Wolfie is finally by herself again, but for the first time, she finds it a little lonely. Maybe there is something to this friend thing. . .
