Summary

Annie Browne is new at school in September 1918. Before Annie has a chance to meet the other girls in her class, Elsie Schneider claims Annie as her best friend. Annie's classmates don't like Elsie: she's a tattletale, a liar, and a thief. Soon Annie shares their opinion. Annie finds other friends and stays away from Elsie, as far away as she can get. She even joins her new friends in teasing and picking on Elsie. After all, Elsie is obnoxious and her father is German - a Hun, the enemy in the war overseas. Elsie becomes a victim of the deadly Spanish influenza. But her claim on Annie's friendship lives on, and so does her anger at Annie and the others who made her life miserable. She will be Annie's best friend, and she will have her revenge. Annie won't get rid of her so easily this time..
