The Kind of Friends We Used to Be by Frances O'Roark Dowell - ESSENTIAL

The Kind of Friends we Used to be by Francis O'Roark Dowell, 234 pages. Atheneum (Simon), 2009.

EL, MS - ESSENTIAL

Kate and Marylin have rekindled their friendship, but they are not as close as before the troubles of last year in sixth grade. Kate is going to take up guitar and decides that scary black boots is requisite for a guitar-wielding girl. Marylin is a middle school cheerleader and desperately wants to give Kate a makeover so that she will fit in better. Both girls work on their friendship, but they also find unlikely allies and unknown strength.

I did not read The Secret Language of Girls, the prequel to this title, but by the end of this bookI wanted more - I wanted to read the next book right away - and I don't even know if there will be a next book!
