Aydil Vice and Her Disgustin' Hair Knots

Aydil's best friend Liz has messy hair, so why can't she? It's easy and doesn't involve The Brush. But when two knots form in the back of Aydil's head, they soon become three, then four, and Mom says if Aydil doesn't let her Brush the Knots Out, Aydil will have to get ALL her hair cut off so it won't become a Nest for Birds. Then Aydil's personal bully, Scrawny Tawny, can't leave her hair knots alone, even pulling them on the playground. But bad goes to worse when Aydil starts losing friends over her knotty hair and Child Services gets involved. Aydil's parents could go to jail for "'glect!" Is there any way to make it all right? What can a five-and-a-half year old do?
