Readers who will like this book: Preteen girls who are struggling with their identity, friendships and family life.

Rating/Response: 3 out of 4. While I appreciate the underlying meaning and the topics/issues raised by the book, some of the details seem outdated now.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: What would it be like to move to a new place? How would you present yourself to new people? Would you keep some things about yourself private, or share everything?
