Miss Ferris offers Angel and Isaiah a summer job working together. She wants to start a mobile book library for the parts of Greenwood where the kids don’t attend formal school. She wants Angel and Isaiah to deliver books and read to the kids there. She offers each of them $5 per week. Angel is excited at the prospect of earning this much money and buying more crutches for her dad, and she loves the idea of bringing books to kids who aren’t receiving a formal education. However, she doesn’t want to work with Isaiah, who enthusiastically accepts the job on the spot, because she assumes he just wants to bully her. She tells Miss Ferris she’ll let her know the following day. Angel goes home and helps her mother prepare to fix the Barney sisters’ hair again.
On the walk home, Muggy talks about girls while Isaiah thinks about Angel. He feels bad about bullying her with Muggy for years. Muggy thinks Isaiah’s summer job is uncool. Nobody knows Isaiah’s grades are exceptional. They arrive at Isaiah’s house, and he goes inside.
Isaiah asks his mom about Angel, and she’s delighted; she thinks Angel is wonderful.
