I love books that my children cannot wait to read. We read it together and every night she would always ask for one more chapter. I am a firm believer in the importance of cross-generational family bonds, so seeing Channing consider her grandma as a person she could confide in and trust and someone she truly wanted to spend time with was refreshing. What I Like: I really liked the relationship that Channing had with her grandmother. Yet a family summer vacation and a chance to get to know Marco help Channing realize that it is important to give others a chance at friendship. She decides that she doesn't like Marco when he befriends her best friend Maddy. Channing and her best friends' worlds are rocked when Marco moves into town.

As I read this book with my eight year old, we talked about the attitudes the sisters had towards each other. As a mother with two children, I realize that sibling relationships are not always sunny, but I prefer to surround my children with examples of how siblings are to treat each other well. They are constantly picking on each other, saying things that are not kind, and always looking for ways to verbally cut each other.

Nana is her sounding board when, in her mind, her nine year old world gets turned upside down. What I Like: As with the first book, I love the relationship Channing shares with her grandmother. Throughout the story, Channing learns that true friends never abandon you when you embarrass yourself, that it is always important to make restitution when you lose something that has been lent to you, and that God has created a lot of different but amazing people with their own traditions.
