Maddi's Fridge

Summary

Sofia and Maddi live in the same neighborhood, play in the same park, and both have pesky little brothers. But while Sofia's fridge at home is full of milk and eggs and tortillas and cheese and lettuce and jam and even half a can of dog food, Maddi's fridge is empty with just a small container of milk for her brother, Ryan.

“Why doesn't your mom go the grocery store?” Sofia asked.

“We don't have any money.”

“What if you get hungry?”

“We have some bread.” Maddi said.

“I guess I'd better go home,” Sofia said. Sofia promises Maddi she won't tell, but is still determined to help. She sneaks food for Maddi in her bag and discovers that while fish and eggs are good for people, they aren't very good for backpacks. Despite Sofia's very best efforts, Maddi's fridge is still empty. Sofia promised not to tell. Now what can she do?
