This book would be great for upper primary students. The main character is in year 6 and trying to adjust to changes in her life. While I found the the main character and her main friends a bit annoying, I suspect it will resonate well with primary age students. I loved the main character's review of the week: word, problem, plan, fruit rating and gratitude. This would be great to introduce into a classroom and personal life.
