Customer Reviews

Great book!
MEG MAKES A FRIEND was a great book. It is about a ten year old girl named Meg. Meg has been asked to sing in a wedding. But the groom's much younger sister, Julia, decides to play the wrong song (she will play the piano while Meg sings) and makes Meg sing the wrong song. So Meg is angry at Julia. But then Meg discovers why Julia acted the way she did, and that Julia is really very kind and is just sad because her brother is marrying, and the orphaned Julia, who has been raised by her brother, will be forgotten by her brother. This was a great book I highly reccomend.

little women at ten
i loved the book little women as a kid it was one of my favorites and while at the library while looking for something to read i found the portraits of little women books this one Meg makes a friend was my last one to read and Meg while not my favorite little woman I connected more with Jo I enjoyed reading her series especially Meg makes a friend she is invited to sing at a wedding and the sister of the groom does something not very nice! She is then invited by the March's to come stay with them while her brother and sister in law are on their honeymoon Meg is angry (Which is a nice sight to see since normally she is the calm levelheaded one) the girl is nice to all the March's but Meg is having none of it ! There is a nice turn of events that i will not tell here ! Every book comes with a recipe and a craft at the end! I great book for kids before reading little women it is a great stepping stone to the classic and I wish there was more of them even though they are a little short
