Good!

In this mini book it`s all about friendship between Nellie and Samantha.It`s a fun story for both girls older and younger.I highly recomend it.

Wonderful

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Samantha Parkington, a nine-year-old orphan girl living in the America of 1904. In this book, when two rich girls in their school snub Samantha's friend, Nellie O'Malley (a servant girl), Samantha comes up with the idea of a winter party, with Nellie at the center. But, when a gift exchange is added, Samantha realizes too late that poor Nellie is being marginalized yet again. Can Samantha save the day?The final chapter of this book is a fascinating look at the history of skating in America, up to the early twentieth century, has some fun instructions for making snow candles! My twelve-year-old daughter is a fan of Samantha, and has been for years; we both highly recommend this wonderful book to you.

A good book

Samantha plans a party for her friends, and they are going to have a gift exchange. But Samantha's friend, Nellie, is a servant and can't afford any presents. But she manages to surprise Samantha and her other friends anyway!

Another American Girl...

It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, friendship is what counts. This is a great book about overcoming the difference between classes and points out that everybody can find something to share.
