“Dear Friends,” a middle grade novel by Lisa Greenwald, will take you back to middle school where friendship and drama go hand in hand. The main character, Leni, is understandably upset when she isn’t invited to her best friend Sylvie’s sleepover. She realizes that she has had other friendships that have faded away in the past and does an investigation to find out why this happened.

The book has plenty of middle school humor and drama, and Leni discovers some very interesting things about herself and about how to be a good friend.  A useful addition to your middle grade collection, but not a must-buy.
