Beacon Street Girls - Book #4
Annie Bryant
More by Annie Bryant

Remember the deliciousness of being a preteen girl and finding a series of books so all-consuming that you felt you lived within their pages? Before you think those days are gone for today's girls, superseded by the lure of cell phones, myspace.com, and MTV, just give any 10-13-year-old girl one of these books and see what happens! In a culture where girls go from the Berenstain Bears to Britney Spears far too quickly, these books are a very good thing.

So diverse are the five 7th grade friends in this series, that your daughter is sure to find herself in one (or all!) of them. Each of the girls is a positive role model (with her own unique shortcomings too, of course), and each book has a generous share of empowering messages that address issues girls face today, such as dealing with ''mean'' girls, feelings of awkwardness, and, yes, crushes on boys.

This circle of friends is a regular United Nations of diversity, with Jewish Maeve (the drama queen of the book), who struggles with her dyslexia; African-American Katani (the stylish one), who lives with her autistic sister; Avery (the soccer enthusiast), who was adopted from South Korea, and, well, you get the picture.

Their adventures, often dealing with how all their differences play out, will keep your daughter turning the pages long after she says, ''Just 2 more minutes!'' At the end of each book, there are questions for friends to talk about and a quiz for comprehension.

If you're hoping to ignite or rekindle a passion for reading in a ''tween,'' these books refreshingly fit the bill. The first book in the series was a Mom's Choice Award winner for Best Series in the Chapter Book Category. I haven't met a girl yet who doesn't want all of them!
