Serena Says by Tanita S. Davis

3.0

Serena wants to be a vlogger so we get to “see” all her through the book, but the real story is her changing friendship with her best friend JC who just had a kidney transplant. It seems like the hospital stay has changed JC but is it just what happens in 6th grade? Serena’s mom and older sister are supportive in a really nice way as Serena works it all out. The school scenes work and the other characters are not caricatures.

I liked the way it wrapped up, with Serena and JC finding a way to be some kind of friends through it all and Serena accepting that she is changing too.
