She is a beaming, bright-eyed, blissful, sometimes bossy, ten-year-old girl. She likes chewing banana bubble gum, riding her bicycle, and beading her own bags and belts. Addison always wears an apricot-colored ribbon in her auburn hair. She became best friends with Benny Baxter, when their families met at Bob’s Billiards and Bowling. Benny lives in a brick building, on Bond Avenue, not far from Addison’s block. Benny is a boy scout, who wears braces, has blonde hair, keeps his baseball glove within reach, and usually wears his ball cap backwards. Addison likes Benny’s bravado, and the bantering it causes between them. When Benny heard that the Anderson’s were going to Brazil, Benny bet his brothers that he’d be the one Addison would pick to watch her beloved pets. Benny won that bet, but hoped her trip to Brazil would be brief, because he believed it would be a long, boring summer without his buddy.
