Waffle hearts
Best friends, Juvenile fiction, Neighbors
Nine-year-olds Trille and Lena are neighbours and best friends at least, Trille thinks that Lena is his best friend, despite the escapades into which she regularly drags him. In the wonderful village of Mathildewick Cove they have plenty of time to re enact the story of Noah's Ark (or Noah's Shark, as Lena calls it), enjoy the beginning of summer celebrations with their families and even advertise for a new dad for Lena.
