(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. Precocious Indie Kidd, back for her fourth installment, is determined to cheer up her friend Fee whose fierce but precious cat has been run over. Fee's sadness and Indie's confusion and missteps while trying to help are accurately portrayed; playful black-and-white illustrations help diffuse the situation. Indie and her friends' numerous "Cheer-Up-Fee" plans are funny and inventive.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. If only Indie were a grown-up! She could take care of herself and not be treated like a kid. When her mom starts acting weird, Indie grows to realize that the adults in her life have troubles of their own. Indie's bubbly narrative and precocious spirit bring humor and an authentic voice to the story. Amusing black-and-white drawings illustrate the action.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. Indie Kidd means well and is only trying to help (finding a dog a home in Good and turning her stepbrother cool in Friends), but things don't work out as she planned. Indie's Briticisms may confound some readers, though most will likely be able to figure out meaning from context. Playful black-and-white illustrations add to the fun. Review covers these titles: Indie Kidd: How to be Good(ish) and Indie Kidd: Oops, I Lost My Best(est) Friends.
