Reviews

[Sarah Zarymbski · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the seventh and final book of the Groovy Girls Sleep Over Club. The girls' school holds a career day, so all the girls start thinking about what they want to be when they grow up. This type of book can get kids thinking about what they might want to do when they're older, and give them some options. The book also touches on when your close friend might want something that you don't and how to deal with it. Overall, this series is very good for grades 3-6, because they touch on all the problems a girl that age may face and how to deal with them.
