I bought this for my 8 year-old when she was having friendship issues with a girl she had been close to since kindergarten. She would come home crying every day because she was feeling left out of the group. We read this book together and found it helpful in dealing with her problem. It gave her so much good advice that I could see her confidence building and her fear quickly diminishing. She found the courage to talk to her friend and they are "hanging out" again. Thank you to American Girl for truly understanding a girl's heart.

I bought this for my daughter who is in 3rd grade. She had not previously experienced "girl drama" or friendship issues before this year. Her teacher said that these things start to appear in third grade and recommended this book. It was perfect for the things she was going through. I wouldn't recommend it for teenage girls, though. This is definately a "tween" book.

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
When I found this book, I wasn't having any friendship troubles inparticular, I just thought the book looked interesting. I picked it up, started reading, and couldn't put it down! I ended up buying it, and if I remember correctly, I finished reading it in one day. This book had advice on friendships, quizzes, and stories about real girls' friendship feuds. I'd already heard most of the advice from my mom, but some girls may not have, and it's stuff every girl needs to hear. This book covers everything from keeping a good friendship to solving disagreements, standing up for yourself to breaking of a bad friendship, making up after fighting to being a good friend. Some advice, I will say, I don't agree with. But most of it I did. The quizzes were fun, but I'm not completely sure that girls should take their results TOO seriously. You don't want to break off what might have been a good friendship because of a book! In all, I'd say that this is the best friendship advice you can get from a book.
