Charli, Anna, and Jessica are the best of friends. When a girl names Kristin moves to town, they quickly add her to their group. As soon as Kristin steps foot in the youth group class, church bully Greta makes Kristin her latest target. Just as things start going well for Kristin again, she makes an enemy in Greta’s grandmother, Alma!
The four friends have a sleepover and find an old church camp picture with Alma and Kristin’s grandmother in it. Turns out the two had been best of friends back then. What happened? As the girls investigate, their own friendships are put to the ultimate test. Can they survive the conflict?
This book had a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants feel, but for a younger audience. The girls are junior high age. Morris does a great job of creating unique characters. I loved how the girls interacted with one another and stayed true to their characters. This book took a good look at what it means to forgive, friends and enemies both. I recommend this one for girls ages eight and up.
