SOLVED. Kids chapter book main character is reading some book series and wants the next one but it’s checked out to a girl whose name (I think) is Melody Hicks...she also makes friends with another girl who has a pet wolf. [s]

The main character takes a bus to the library, she meets a very quiet girl who is small and wears her hair in a bun (?)...she imagines melody hicks to be a beautiful snobby girl who cares little about other people’s feelings and just wants her to return the book. Then she finds melody and she’s sort of scruffy and tough- looking. I remember the details for sure but it’s possible I have the name wrong

Ckipp, I've deleted the duplicate posting you made for this book.

Now, a few questions--when did you read this? Any memory of the book cover? Where did you find the book--library, book store, teacher recommended it/required reading for school?

[Ckipp]

Sorry I forgot to add that - definitely 1980s. I don’t remember the cover but there were a few pencil sketches throughout the book.

[Ckipp]

I probably got it at the library or bought it from one of those book orders.
