Portia’s Exclusive and Confidential Rules on True Friendship

Hays, Anna Portia’s Exclusive and Confidential Rules on True Friendship, 209. Simon and Schuster , 2009. Language- G (0 swears, 0 “f”), Sexual Content- G; Violence- G; Portia Avatar, a student at Palmville Middle School, is a detective and tries to solve two cases at the same time: Case One, the whereabouts of her missing Dad, and Case Two, the answers to the mystery of where a new student, Misty Longfellow, got her strange, animal-saving personality. As she befriends Misty, her old friend, Amy Clamdigger, tries to get Portia to stay away from her. I thought this book was a pleasant read, with twists and turns and surprises. It flowed along smoothly and came to a good ending with a little cliffhanger in it. EL-ADVISABLE. A.W.
