Good reading and fantastic for kids
My son really appreciated this book. The fact that this book made my son feel the emotions of the characters involved made me feel good that finally a book caught his attention allowing him to imagine every part of the scene. He really enjoyed this book. It made him laugh and cry. He is only 9 years old, so it was nice to him get so into the book.

It's an old book, but I highly recommend this for girls grades 3-5. Excellent exploration of the feelings of girls this age.
