Reviews

[Aubrey Klaassen]

It was great! And it shows how best friends can sometimes get into quarrels!.!

[Taelyn]

Natlie broke up with her friend and then they got back together when they were doing the best friend race. It was all good but there was one mean and one sometimes nice boy and girl. The girl's name was Sasha and the boy's name was Peter.
