Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6?A quick read for girls that offers tips on self-esteem in a fairly believable format. Camy, a sixth grader at Peoria Middle School, has recently moved from Beverly Hills, California to Illinois. As a veteran of "one of the toughest schools in the country in terms of making friends," she wants to share her knowledge with other kids her age. She starts off by introducing several of her closest pals and then outlines 30 rules for making friends, as well as for being a good friend. She covers common-sense ideas such as "try to have a varied group of friends" or "...don't fight over boys" while maintaining the young-girl/best-friend voice. In outlining the best ways to meet friends, Camy states, "Try to be direct and honest and real. If you're a straight-A student, tell the girls you're really into school and what your favorite subject is." At times, the narrator seems older than a sixth grader and can be a little preachy, but that never overwhelms the text. This is an especially good selection for the American Girl (Pleasant Company) magazine crowd.?Julie Shatterly, York County Public Library, Rock Hill, SC

5.0 out of 5 stars Love You Like A Sister, March 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Camy Baker's Love You Like a Sister (Camy Baker's Series) (Paperback)

If you want to be a better best friend then this is the book for you.I would only recommend this book to you if you are a girl,because boys and girls act differently and the rules that are in this book are mostly for girls.The main character of this story is a girl named Camey Baker. This book will help you learn 30 new rules to make you a better best friend.The mystery to this story is that 2 girls absolutely hate each other but later in the story they become friends.Now the question to you is why did they hate each othere and how did they become friends?I do not want to spoil the ending,so read the book if you want to know what happend.

I got this book a few years ago but I have read it 3 or 4 times since. It is a good book that deals with friendship while telling stories in between. I am wondering if the stories are true but that does not really matter. It's great.
