Gr 4–6—Sisters Maureen and Wendy are intelligent, passionate, headstrong, and volatile. This book is based on the wildly successful series originally published in France, and the sisters have lost none of their exuberant charm in this translation. Sure to be popular with readers hungry for female protagonists, this installment features short, episodic story lines that should appeal to reluctant readers. The girls get into all sorts of sisterly troubles while learning lessons of patience and love. Younger sister Maureen just wants to hang out with Wendy, whom she idolizes. Wendy, meanwhile, craves independence—a familiar conflict that will resonate with many readers.
VERDICT A popular addition to any school or public library graphic novel collection.
