The Friendship Lie

















I have really read way more than 2 books in July.  It hasn't been my best month due to traveling to NY and then to Guatemala, but I have read books - just not blogged about them.

Cora's life revolves around garbage.  Her mother and father - recently separated - are both scientists who deal with garbage, recycling, sustainability.  So, of course, Cora and her twin brother are involved with the family passion.  Her friendship with her brother Kyle and Sybella is not garbage - they have been inseparable and even have an imaginary kingdom.  But when a meddlesome girl takes advantage of a misunderstanding Cora and Sybella's friendship is in jeopardy.  Can they figure out a way to fix it?

This story is told through multiple viewpoints and jumps around chronologically.  There is also a mysterious diary of another girl with friendship issues.  It all comes together at the end but I am not sure how effective the style was or if it will cause issues with middle grade readers.
