Making Friends by Kristen Gudsnuk
4.0
I'm rating it a 4 because I know the target audience will appreciate it more than I did. It's a very convulated plot line - but made more sense finding out it was inspired by the Chinese folktale "Magic Paintbrush"
Until the end I was thinking Dani was in a dream, or just talking to herself - not that things were actually happening. In short - Dani gets a magic sketchbook from her deceased Aunt, and proceeds to draw in it - creating a disembodied floating head who seems in love with Dani, a best friend for Dani (Who 'becomes' real and sentient and wants to live her own life) as well as magic rings to fly and a magic wallet of money.
Incredibly weird to me, but I know this series is incredibly popular and that most 4th-6th graders will enjoy it immensely.
