WHAT a delight！ ‘Besties’ brings me back to my tween days， and all the sleepovers and shenanigans my best friend and I would get into （although， we were not nearly as stylish as Beth and Chanda）。 A heartwarming story about friendship and what happens when friends don’t quite see eye to eye。 You’ll want to root for our dear Besties while they learn a lesson or two about growing up， being responsible， and doing the right thing。 Absolutely charming with its eye-catching illustrations， humorous dial WHAT a delight！ ‘Besties’ brings me back to my tween days， and all the sleepovers and shenanigans my best friend and I would get into （although， we were not nearly as stylish as Beth and Chanda）。 A heartwarming story about friendship and what happens when friends don’t quite see eye to eye。 You’ll want to root for our dear Besties while they learn a lesson or two about growing up， being responsible， and doing the right thing。 Absolutely charming with its eye-catching illustrations， humorous dialogue， and even a FASHION MONTAGE。 Can’t wait to see what’s next for Beth and Chanda！ 。。。more

Fantastic！ I loved Kayla Miller’s other work on Click， Camp， etc and was excited about this one。 Beth and Chanda learn so many important life lessons—honesty， hard work， and more。 I love that they aren’t your typical main characters either。 I can’t wait to read more！

I love the Click stories， so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about a story set in the Click world， but not about the main character。 I should not have worried。 This is a great story on its own。 And both Olive， who has been the main character in the Click books， makes an appearance as does Nat （Natasha） who is just as annoying as she was in Clash， the fourth book in the series。。Beth and Chanda want to earn money so that Beth can give her mom a really good gift for her birthday， a day at the I love the Click stories， so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about a story set in the Click world， but not about the main character。 I should not have worried。 This is a great story on its own。 And both Olive， who has been the main character in the Click books， makes an appearance as does Nat （Natasha） who is just as annoying as she was in Clash， the fourth book in the series。。Beth and Chanda want to earn money so that Beth can give her mom a really good gift for her birthday， a day at the spa。 They start off with a lemonade stand， which doesn't go well。 And then they land a job house sitting， which I have to admit， I did at their age， as well， and it does pay well， and takes a lot of responsibility， too。It is that responsibility that drives this story， that， and wanting to be popular， which is both a side note， and a heavy note， on part of the story。 I was worried that things were going to turn out worse than they did， and I hesitated finishing the story， but then， things showed just how mature the girls really turned out to be， and I was very pleased with how the authors worked things out。。You don't have to have read any of the Click books to read this one， though they are fun books to read anyway。 And this appears to be the first in many more stories of Beth and Chanda。Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review。 。。。more
