This was a fun and silly read. The opening chapters made me think more serious problems like moving and family conflict would figure much more in the narrative, but I ended up enjoying the madcap adventures in the school. The four main characters have a believable first meeting including awkwardness and shyness, but become friends quickly and showed themselves to be understanding of each other very early on. This should be a cheerful series to read.

The first book in the series. I loved this new modern take on the transition between elementary and middle school. This is a simple book. It is great for kids looking for friendship books. Not frills but kids will be entertained.
