Ok but nothing special. The trials and tribulations of an 8 year old girl dealing with being in a sticky situation not wanting to admit she's done something wrong and afraid to stand up to a bully.

I really loved this book as a young girl. My copy came with a locket. It was so lovely.

Just because it's for kids doesn't mean it has to be this bad. Rambley in a way that only works for a readaloud. The story is boring and who took the locket is exactly who you thought it was in the first place. I'm sure it's relatable for the intended age group but it teaches girls that awful kind of overthinking that isn't healthy. I appreciated how the main character stuck up for herself at the very end but still not great.

This book fell short of my expectations. I found myself wanting more depth in both the storytelling and character development. The plot itself lacked impact and didn’t fully draw me in. That said, readers who prefer a short and straightforward narrative may still enjoy it. Personally, I would have appreciated a longer, more detailed version

Roz's grandmother gave Roz a locket. The grandmother also said that she was not allowed to take it to school because she was afraid that Roz mite lose it.

Seceretly Roz takes it to school, but her grandmother was right, she did lose it at school and she had to face a bully to get it back.

Did she get it back?
This is the best book ever! I thought I wouldn't really like that much when I first saw it, but when I read it I loved it!
