Mitali does it again! I absolutely adore this series. I read book 1 - Awesome Orange Diaries a few years ago with my daughter. We used the ideas at the end to decorate her room.
This is her 5th book and one of my favorites. It is packed full of cute ideas to do with friends at a sleepover and like the rest of the series, has a love of protecting animals.

These books have gotten better as they've been published. This one was really sweet - gentle with family issues and anxiety with a group of different coping mechanisms.
The art is always wonderful! And making the zine! A dying art that is made super accessible with the instructions in it twice in the back and in the story itself! Love it.

Priya's fifth party is for her friend. They plan a sleepover with a mermaid theme. I appreciate how the author weaves informative text about the endangered animal in with the fun.
