Hand-Me-Down Magic #1: Stoop Sale Treasure by Corey Ann Haydu

3.0

This is a sweet short chapter book (gr 2-4 to read on their own) about two cousins who are best friends, become neighbors, and a disagreement threatens their relationship. It does an amazing job of laying out a realistic Big Blowup between two 9-10 year old girls, and how they talk through their feelings. As an adult, the problem felt a little bit inserted by the author because the book needs a Conflict. It didn't quite grow organically out of the plot.
