I loved this memoir and I'm so pumped to read Real Friends! I gave this book to my 8 years old to read right after I finished it. I loved the part about girls chasing boys and boys afraid of girl cooties. That part with the stuff animals at the amusement park got me teary eyed.
The roller coasters part was cute/funny and it reminded me of the time I introduced my son his first ride and he was as scared as Shannon. I liked how Shannon went to her oldest sister, Wendy for consultation when there's a major event in her life, like a boy asking her out. In between, Shannon typed up a story of her imagination that went parallel with what she experienced at school.īest Friends was very well written, illustrated, and developed. She felt like as soon as she's happy with her friends there seemed to be a new unwritten friend rule and then she fell out of the loops again. She didn't know about the current TV shows because she's not allowed to watch TV on weeknights like her classmates. She didn't know the current cool songs that everyone seemed to know because her family listened to different kinds of music. She's part of a group of girl friends but sometimes she felt left out. This book followed Shannon, a sixth grader. The rules about friends with boys and girls are cute and funny. Shannon was good with earning money for her young age. And she did it only after she thought it through. She's a good role model when she stood up for herself by confronting Jenny of stealing her job. I liked how Shannon felt bad for gossiping and being mean. This book has some great advices about friendship. I like the main character, Shannon because she appeared humble and nice. I didn't realize this book was the second to the series until I started to read it but it's okay to read as a stand-alone.
