Best Friend Thief

by Laurel-Ann Dooley

Reviewer: Cindy B
Genre: Fiction
Recommended Age: 9+

Overall Book Review:

Most of us know all too well what it feels like to have a friend abandon us for someone else. That’s exactly what Nathalie is experiencing in “Best Friend Thief,” Laurel-Ann Dooley’s spunky preteen novel about friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness. Nathalie’s voice is accurate and engaging, and I found it easy to sympathize with her frustration. This is the perfect book for any preteen girl!

About the Reviewer

Cindy B
As a kid, I used to tell people that I wanted to be a “professional book reviewer” when I grew up (along with writer/ballerina/figure skater/mom). I thought that any profession that involved the full-time reading of books was my idea of heaven. Getting the chance to review books is a little dream come true!
