I love these kind of books.

Fifth Grade: Here Comes Trouble by Colleen O'Shaughnessy McKenna was a recent thrifting throwback find. The best part of this one was that the plot revolved around an upcoming coed skating party for someone's birthday. Y'all, remember your first coed party? And also the pressure of the couples skate at a skating rink? Right?!?! RIGHT?!?! Is that a stress kids today still have? I don't even know. Honestly, this was a quick read more than anything. I loved the nostalgia it provided, but it wasn't much more than that to me.

A girl read. Coming of age story.

Marsha and Carole are bags, but that's just proof that this is an awesome book. It lost a star for the whole "Mommy wants her little girl to wear her first bra" thing. Ew.

Enjoyable Quick Read!
