Ella Mental: And the Good Sense Guide |
Ella Watson is sensible to a fault. Thanks to the little nuggets of wisdom she collects in her Good Sense Guide, she's the perfect go-to girl for any friend in need. But when Ella has an argument with her best friend, Toby, her faithful guide falls short. Ella has been so focused on her friends that she's missed what's right in front of her face -- now she'll have to trade in sense for sensibility to mend her friendship.

Grade 6-9–When 14-year-old Ella''s group of mates begins to experience individual troubles, she does her matter-of-fact best to be there for each of them while putting off her own problem: her feelings for her best friend, Toby. Her sense of morality is absolute, and she dredges up quotes from her Elemental Good Sense Guide as they apply. This book is easy to enjoy. Ella''s kooky, humorous voice is made even more fun for American audiences with its Briticisms: I set off with a neat girlie giggle that makes my shoulders quiver daintily...soon the pair of us are…rocking with gales of hilarious hooting. Bystanders gawp as if we''re certifiable. Although two of her friends'' problems are indeed serious (race-based and sexual abuse), this remains a light, slow, feel-good romance that will be appreciated by fans of Louise Rennison and Cathy Hopkins.–Rhona Campbell, Chevy Chase Neighborhood Library, Washington, DC
