Cassie has a hard time.1. Her mom's attention is usually on a younger child2. Cassie has a LOT of siblings3. Her best friend moved and now they don't see each other as often4. Another girl in class is trying to come between them5. She's in between times - learning what is cool and what is babyish6. She keeps being told that she's so sensitive7. She wants to win a sweepstakes to make everyone else happy
My Thoughts: Finding your place is hard, especially when you're in that in between stage. My heart went out to poor Cassie. Friendships drama is hard to read, especially with mean girls. But I love how everything turned out. I wonder if this will be turned into a series; I wouldn't mind reading more about Cassie's friendship adventures.

I'm a huge fan of Shannon Hale's and want to read some graphic novels. I just added this one to my list. Thanks for featuring it this week.
I haven't seen this one yet, but Shannon Hale is one of my favorite authors. I can tell already that I will like this character just because she's called too sensitive. Thanks for featuring it!
This story should be popular with young readers. The issues presented are realistic and heartfelt. Thanks for featuring your review on this week's MMGM.
This sounds really cute. Yes, friendship drama is great fodder for this age. Thanks for the review.
I have only read one of the Real Friends books, but I really enjoyed it. I'll have to find a copy of this one. :)
I didn't know Shannon had brought out a new book. How exciting!
