I read this book when I was working at a middle school and found it in a classroom library, so that will heavily influence my review. Honestly, it was such a cute read. The writing style was very good, the character development was appropriate for a YA novel, the conflicts they went through were well described and the funny twists here and there had me laughing. One of my favorite scenes was Charlie Brown explaining how she got her name. "Who lets a three-year-old name a baby?!" I love that, lol. It was a good read and I'm happy I found it.
