review 1: This is a great book! Although the chapter about how the children behaved for the substitute teacher is a bit unbelievable (I haven't subbed for a class yet that would allow me to get away with having the "wrong" child pass out papers without letting me hear about it), it deals with every-day, little girl drama. I didn't enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed Ivy & Bean, but this one is definitely more realistic.
review 2: I liked this book, and know many 2-4th grade girls who will as well. 3 stars instead of 4 because resolution lacked with the outlier character. If Nikki & Deja had confronted her and resolved the issues instead of her getting in "trouble" at school I would have rated this book higher. With that said, it's nice to read a series about 2 African
... moreAmerican girls! A breath of fresh air from the mainly white protagonists that are often published! less
