Summary: Jasmine is the main character of the book and she really hoped that Kayla would invite her to her sleepover that she was planning. Annie, Jasmine’s best friend, was invited, but Jasmine still had not received her invitation. Suddenly, one day at school, Kayla came up to Jasmine and invited her to her sleepover! Jasmine was so excited, but then she overhears that Kayla and her friends are planning to play tricks on Annie and Jasmine at the sleepover. This makes Jasmine very sad and upset. Annie and Jasmine plan to play a trick on Kayla and her friends before they can play a trick on them. Then, they decide that might be really mean and they really were not for sure that Kayla and her friends are going to play a trick on them, so they decide to just go to the sleepover anyways, but they won’t play a trick on them. They get to the sleepover and Kayla says that she is going to show them some tricks, which made the girls a little nervous, but it turns out that Kayla meant show them some hair makeover tricks. Jasmine apologizes for thinking badly of Kayla by offering an apology and giving the new skirt that Jasmine’s mom bought her to Kayla as a gift.
Evaluation: I thought this story was really cute and sweet! I also liked how at the end there is a little diary reflection page where it is like Jasmine wrote in her diary. It talks about the moral of the story, which is to always treat others nicely and to treat them the way you want to be treated. At the back of the book as well, there are Discussion Questions, a Vocabulary page, and a Writing Prompt.
Teaching Idea: The Writing Prompt at the back of the book could be used in a Writing segment. Also, the Discussion Questions could be used to teach students about Key Ideas in a text and looking back in a text to find answers. The RACE (restate the question, Answer the question, Cite evidence, and Extend) strategy could be used when answering the questions as well.
