Publishers Weekly

Gr 5 Up-This collection of stories, quotes, and poems by and about girls' friendship pulls in some 250 entries from such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey and Madonna as well as from everyday teens. The young people's stories share humorous and poignant snippets from friendships old and new. A "Friendly Fact" appears at the end of many chapters, which shares a bit of trivia. The book is divided into 30 chapters with topics ranging from "The Power of Pals" to "Tokens of Affection" to "Boy Friends." Girls will return to its pages again and again when they are looking for just the right words to say "thanks," a bit of inspiration, and practical advice as well. While nothing new is presented, this well-put-together collection makes a nice pick-me-up for a friend in need or a good resource for one's personal reference shelf. A serviceable addition to popular paperback shelves.-Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
