I was excited to see Charise Mericle Harper of the Just Grace series has a new book written for transitional readers. June and her dog Sammy are trying to stay away from June's older sister Isabella, she's a teenager now and doesn't like to play anymore. Together they decide their next mission will be to find a new friend to play with and luckily new neighbors are moving in next door. In the meantime Grandma Penny sends a gift, a wonder wheel to put together. Chapter 8 is all about building the wonder wheel and the different categories they will inquire about each week. June and Sammy watch the new neighbors a lot and hope she, Mae will be fun to play with. Unfortunately, at school Mae is spending time getting to know other new friends. The story is about fitting in, making new friends, and being a good friend. It's not always easy making new friends and I love how June could share her Wonder Wheel with Mae; giving them something in common to start a friendship with. I hope there will be more Mae and June stories coming.
