My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: Received to Review
Genre: Middle Grade Fiction
My thoughts: This book is told from two points of view, Lola and Hannah. Both girls have a strong personality and are facing personal crisis. The girls have issues between them and a positive model is given for conflict resolution.
I think that this story is great for kids to read. Sometime it helps to read about a situation and learn empathy through fiction when dealing with emotional turmoil. Lola's parents are divorced and she is a tomboy. Hannah's parents are getting divorced and she is afraid that her situation will end up to be like Lola's. It is also a big problem that they both have a crush on the same boy.
This may sound silly, but I liked the fact that one of the girls was still wetting the bed at age 11. I honestly think that more children suffer from this affliction than we realize. Having a book with a main character struggle with the issue is a positive thing for kids.
Today we welcome Lulubelle Love and her newest work: "The Lola Diaries: Drama Jerk"
