N.B. I received a free copy of this book through the First Reads program.

I am definitely not a member of the target audience for this one. This is a nice, little, beginner chapter book for young girls. I think that second, third, and maybe even fourth graders would be the ideal audience for this one.

It's about two girls whose mom runs a nail salon. The girls often hang out at the nail salon and enjoy the atmosphere and the women who work there as well as the women who make appointments. Both girls want to help out however they can and, through the course of the book, gain more responsibility.

Overall, this made me a little nostalgic for my old Lisa Frank folders and notebooks from when I was in grade school (yes, even boys can like Lisa Frank!). I don't think that I would have enjoyed this, even when I was in the target age group, but I think that is only because of my gender. I can see girls in the age group enjoying this quite a bit and identifying with either of the two girls. If you're looking for a nice gift for a grade school girl, perhaps as a first chapter-book, I think this would be a good choice. ( )
