ALIGNMYREAD RECOMMENDATION
“Christian readers, especially parents, can find this a valuable and enjoyable read for middle-grade girls. It offers excellent opportunities for discussion on friendship, family, and character, though parents may wish to supplement with biblical perspectives on these topics as they arise.”
