Reviews

[Fleur Ferris · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 8 yo just walked around behind me for the past half hour telling me every single thing they happened in this book. “I love it. I love all of these books. Can you tell Kim Kane I give it five yellow stars.” She also gives Ginger Green “The bendy friend” five yellow stars, but it doesn’t seem to be listed here on Goodreads.

I highly recommend these books to kids aged 7 plus. It’s great to see a child so invested in a story and character.
