In Monkey, Anna finds herself in the middle of an unbalanced friendship trio; in Bet, she attempts to save her two friends from a bully by making a wager with him. Anna's diverse third-grade world is pleasant, as is the spot art scattered throughout, but Anna's voice feels a little too adult to be believable. Review covers these titles: Anna, Banana, and the Big-Mouth Bet and Anna, Banana, and the Monkey in the Middle.
