Gr 3–5—In this UK import, each book in the series features alternating chapters narrated by one of three chums: Daisy, Erika, or Phoebe. The preteen plot lines include jealousy over new friends, minor mysteries, and lots of texting. The girls and their classmates are realistically diverse. Though the books include black-and-white drawings sprinkled throughout, the dense blocks of text and she-said, she-said drama make this most suitable to slightly older readers who may be struggling and looking for a shorter, breezier read than most middle grade offerings.
