Middle Grade Review: The Taylors

 

Four girls meet in middle school (5th grade). Each of them is named Taylor - named our course after the greatest singer ever! Three of them have nicknames: Teffy, Tay-Tay, and TS. They bond over their love for their namesake. 

Soon, they start hanging out and quickly become a foursome. They desperately want to attend the ERAS tour when it comes to town, but the tickets are outrageously expensive. They start a friendship bracelet making business in hopes to raise enough money. The Taylors make a pact to go tother or not at all. Will their biggest wish come true?

My Thoughts: This is the first in a new series about these four best friends. I love how they came together in their own little meet-cute. I love how they start connecting and supporting each other. They help each other become better. There are some mean girl moments, lots of friendship drama, lots of Taylor Swift references, and many school moments. I love how everything tuned out for these friends. 

And the books continue with the girls four years later as they start high school:

Picture Book Wednesday: Wildest Dreams

A picture book biography of Taylor Swift 

This biography showcases much of her childhood and early days. There isn't as much about her older years in terms of biographical moments. But there are nods to her songs and albums. This book talks about her love for fans and her political choices. But my favorite part is how it shares that she has so many stories left to tell. This book has gorgeous soft illustrations. 

This is a perfect read for any Swiftie.
