Readers who will like this book: Young girls are probably going to be drawn to this book the most. Parents will enjoy the authors details about emotion involving a friendship and how it will always turn out for the best with a true friend.
Personal response: I like how Kellogg brought the reader through both the ups and downs of a friendship (particularly a young girls). The book is so colorful and there is a great lesson in it. I rate this book at a 3, only because it is mainly directed toward girls.
A question you would ask before reading: Have you ever missed someone so much it made you angry that they were gone?
