Hi! Do the things from this book ring any bells for anyone? I read it when I was a kid several years ago (I think my mom got it from the thrift store) and it was kind of old then, but not super old—maybe 70s or 80s? I remember almost nothing about the protagonist, but I know a big part of the story was her making friends with a girl who ~might~ have been called Ellen. Two parts stand out to me: Ellen is Catholic, and as the two girls stand in her church she informally and suddenly baptizes the protagonist, which is strange for the MC, and the other is that at the end of the book the MC finds out that Ellen (who has moved away maybe?) is dead (maybe from being hit by a car?) and her brother tells her that while she was still alive, she really wanted to find a Shirley Temple doll to give the MC, as she felt bad for bullying the MC into giving away her Shirley Temple doll. Any thoughts? Thanks :)
