INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bowe, Julie

My Last Best Friend

(4) 4-6 Friends for Keeps series. This painfully accurate account of the trials and emotions of fourth-grade girls only manages to fully develop one character, but Ida successfully carries the story herself. While the very end slips into a moral lesson that diminishes the authenticity of Ida's previous experiences, the notes between Ida and a friend that punctuate the latter half of the book are entertaining.
