She also loved kick-the-can, hide-and-seek, and red rover, but she wasn't fond of dodge ball (ouch!). Alexis is grateful for the loyal, true-blue friends she has in her life. She lives in Southern California with her best, best friend (who has never ever been her worst best friend)--her husband, David, a computer wiz who makes her laugh. \u003cbr\u003e LAURA HULISKA-BEITH was an enthusiastic \"hopper\" in the schoolyard, where she was often found playing hopscotch and jumping rope. A not-so-big kid, and now a not-so-big grown up, Laura lives in Kansas City, Missouri, with her four best, best friends (yes, she believes you can have four best, best friends): her husband Jeff, and their three dogs Roxy, Chloe, and Jake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scholastic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40808777875609,"sku":"9780439206372","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_69273760-c04d-403a-a540-beeddc0101df.jpg?v=1724739290","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/the-recess-queen-9780439206372","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
