Note: I accessed digital review copies of this book through Edelweiss and NetGalley. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book and I loved the outcome the ending was great. The author used the character to show how girls can be very creative and come up with different things such as a secret language only they understand like a girl code. The three best friends decide to enter a school talent show as a all-girls singing group. But one friend Annie isn’t being fair or considering the other girls ideas. She wants the show to be all about her resulting in her leaving the group. But she learns the hard way that everything isn’t as fun alone without your friends. She ends up apologizing and getting back in the group and they all decided what to wear, what song they would sing, and everything turned out great when they worked together. ( )

Annie, Lillemor and Lilianne are best friends. When they find out the school is going to have a talent show, Annie says they should enter as a girl's singing group. All three girls love to sing so they agree and meet to design a plan. First they have to pick a song, then decide what costumes to wear as well as who will sing what parts. Unfortunately, Annie things she should be in charge because the group was her idea. When she ignores all the ideas from her friends, they decide to do their own thing and Annie is going solo. It does not take long for the girls to experience problems and realize they miss one another and are much better together. Will Lillemor and Lilianne accept Annie's apology? Can the girls work through this? Can they cooperate and work together?

This story teachers the value of friendship. Everyone will have issues with their friends over time, but with this story they will learn that it is a two way street and cooperation, empathy, respect, acceptance and forgiveness are important to make a relationship work. It is a wonderful book to share with kids. I can see using this book in various situations. When assignments are given where group work is involved, a group of friends are having a problem or just when learning about friendship and teamwork this book would be a great way to start a discussion. A good addition to a school library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

Three friends decide to make an all girl band for a talent show, but that is the last thing they agree on. One gal takes over all the costume and song title decisions. I enjoyed how the girls solved this problem. This is the perfect book to spark a conversation on compromise and getting along! ( )

This book brings me back to when I was a little girl and had my closest girl friends. We didn't get along all of the time, because one of us was always trying to be the "boss" of the group. This can lead to friendships breaking up, like the one in this book. But an apology and forgiveness can mend relationships like the way this story ended. ( )
