An Old Favorite

This series of books was one of my favorites when I was in elementary school. As it happened, I actually came across the second book of the series, "Third Grade Stars," first, so I didn't read the beginning of Amber, Mindy, and Delight's adventures until long after finishing the second book. However, I still recommend this book and its sequels for all girls in elementary school, especially those with divorced parents. Amber perspective of her parents' divorce can certainly strike a chord with other kids in the same situation. :)

This is a good book

One of my 4th grade students loved this book because there is a lot of action, likeable characters, and it reminded her of her own experiences.

Who Needs Third Grade?

I like the book Who Needs Third Grade because a girl named Amber quits third grade and at the end someone gets another best friend. Two girls named Amber and Mindy get in a fight because Amber is jealous about a new girl in their class with whom Mindy wants to be best friends. Than Amber cuts off the new girls hair. Find out if Amber and Mindy become friend again by reading the book Who Needs Third Grade. The moral is to apologize to even people you hate.

Who Needs Third Grade

Amber Cantrell was excited about starting third grade. She thought she would be the most popular girl with the prettiest name and the longest hair. Then she meets a new girl named Delight Walkfield. I liked this book because it showed you could have more than one friend. It also taught you that you should get to know new people before you judge people.
