THE ENGLISH ROSES: THE NEW GIRL

THE ENGLISH ROSES: THE NEW GIRL
By: Madonna Ritchie
Children’s book - Fiction


           Do you sometimes have to choose between your old friends and your new friends? Do you sometimes do silly things that hurt the feelings of your friends? This book tells of a story about friendship between old friends and new friends.
         
          Nicole was excited that her friend from New York, Leslie, is coming to London. Nicole felt she had more in common with Leslie and started to spend more time with Leslie than her old friends, the English Roses. When Nicole didn’t show up to the talent show practice with her friends to attend a concert with Leslie, the other English Roses got angry with her. Nicole decided to break off her friendship with the English Roses and decided to perform in the talent show with Leslie. But, Nicole misses her friends and thought of a way to be friends with them again.       
 
          Like the English Roses, I am also a part of a group of friends called JAGKATZ. Although we are part of a group, we all have other friends also.  This story made me realize that I should always value my friends and respect their feelings. My friends and I sometimes have small misunderstandings but we always make up in the end because our friendship is more important.   
 
          I would recommend this book especially to children 9 years old and above. This book talks about friendship and teaches lessons about friendship. It shows how we should value our old friends and how to be open to making new friends.
