pickSo far this one was the best in the series. In this volume, there's a new girl in school named Natasha and of course Olive tries to befriend her but Nat is definitely not a nice girl towards Olive. This story is perfect for kids who have to deal with bullies in their life and also bullies should read this as well. The art is wonderful and I love all of the characters.
Niblings is one of my favourite words! It makes me so happy when I see it in print🙂
I never had this experience myself, but being the new kid has been written about a lot! In the tagged book the new girl makes waves in the small community where everyone has known each other forever. I'd love to hear your favorite middle grade story about a #newkidintown for today's #middlegrademonday !
pickI fit in one more audiobook this afternoon to round out my end of year stats. This is a middle grade novel about bullying, the ones being bullied, the ones participating as a method of self protection, and the ones bullying. I liked it and I think it has a good message, but I‘ll be curious as to whether the girls it‘s intended for will appreciate and learn from it as well.

pickIn this fourth installment Olive is trying to befriend new girl Kat, who turns out to be…catty. Only interested in the popular kids, backstabbing, passive-aggressive, and status-obsessed, Kat wants Olive‘s place in the popularity race. It takes Olive a long time to stand up for herself, and longer for some of her friends to see Kat‘s true colors. Best thing is that Kat makes some changes and Olive makes sure she doesn‘t become a villain forever.
