Rating: Thumbs Up
This is the tale of two girls, Jane-Marie and Carolyn Bennett - also known as CB. The main character is CB who becomes upset with Jane-Marie over her possibly revealing her secret. Both third graders learn about friendship, trust, and acceptance of outside/other friends through this chapter book.
I rated this a "Thumbs Up" as it presents real life events in childrens lives. Readers can identify with the story and also gain understanding on friendship. All children need to know it is good to have many friends, not just one possesive friend.
