I love how Robin's character arc continues into this book. She clearly has a lot of work to do on herself as an individual and as a friend, and seeing her process of realizing that was really great. I especially appreciate how her turnaround was slow and she struggled to accept what her friends were telling her because it felt so real and it's important for kids reading along to understand that the protagonist is human just like them. Humans will make mistakes and that's okay as long as we learn from them. This book series does a great job of showing that.
