The Long-Distance Dispatch Between Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang by Amy Ignatow

4.0

I liked this a lot more than I was expecting to. Fun realistic fiction for 4th and 5th graders about starting middle school. The characters were funny and the lessons on popularity and friendship were refreshing (and not condescending or preachy.) I wish I would have read the first one and may go back to it. I also loved the fact that both girls have non-traditional families (Lydia has a single mom and Julie has two dads) without it being a big deal. Will recommend often!
