Editorial Reviews

"Bellingham's narrative eloquently conveys the often painful and unpredictable environment in which young children, particularly girls, try to sort out their relationships with their friends. The book explores the volatility of young friendship and playground politics in uncomplicated language that young readers will appreciate."
