Franny is a young girl recovering from polio. This story is about her and Fleabrain, a lonely flea, and the story of their friendship. But when Fleabrain conceals things, and Franny finds out, wil they ever make up, or will their friendship be lost forever? This book has a lot of feeling, and I highly recomend it.
