Everlasting Blue, Slam Dunk Orange Dragon Fruit Pink...

Seven-year-old Jamie Johnson is obsessed with collecting paint cards. In fact, it's the only thing that can distract her from fighting with her older sister, during the long, boring summer. Until, that is, a mysterious girl moves in next door. Laren Lark is almost thirteen, a homeschooler, and a passionate poet.
