Learning how to pick a BFF is sometimes hard. This one is set in the Depression backdrop.

A sweet, old-fashioned read, perfect for girls (I'd say 3rd-5th grades.) It's an adept portrayal of the intricacies of elementary school friendships, and an enlightening portrait of life in the Depression era from a 4th-grade girl's perspective.

Interesting portrait of friendship, with a smattering of Jewish life during the Depression. But, not exactly captivating.

Nine-year-old Allie is not excited about leaving her best friend and moving with her family to Stamford during the Great Depression. When she finds out that they're moving to a street called Strawberry Hill she has high hopes, but she'll still have to deal with starting a new school and navigating the complicated road to friendships in her new town.
This is a quiet sort of book with a classic feel. Allie's voice felt very real to me and many of the events may have been based on the author's own experiences. Recommended for girls who are looking for a gentle read.

A sweet book about friendship. Touches on some religious issues and prejudice, but not the main focus of the book. Very sweet.
