Published Reviews

"There are many stories where young girls mature into adulthood but few that observe them existing happily as they are. Tweens are often misunderstood, and for good reason. They have their own language, clothing styles, and tastes in movies and magazines, but when it comes to friendship, Willens gives tweens a good name by proving that they have their priorities straight."
