This is a mini ‘Books For Christian Girls’ review. It is not a full content review and will not receive one. These mini-reviews are years old and just for clarity on the rating the book received on Goodreads.
11/17/2014- “This little middle grade book had a good message of praying when trying new things & not trying to change your friends.”
*Main Content- Minor cussing (dumb and shush). Lucy tells Serena that she wishes she and her mom were closer as she's approaching the age for "young women things".
This book was better than the last in the Hidden Diary Series. I like how the girls challenge each other to try things that scare them, and learn that they don't have to be just alike to be friends.
