I am reviewing a copy of School Friendship Solutions through Teoubador Publishing LTD/Matador and Netgalley:



Lots of people seem to think that Primary School is the easiest thing in the world, that all the kids are sweet and get along that lessons aren't hard and everybody skips home having had the best day ever (until the following day anyway...) Boy, would they be surprised.



Amy Millison knows that being the new girl can be hard, she is the new girl and she finds herself in the world of Drama and mean girls. Come along with Amy as she tries to navigate through finding new friendships, understanding new lessons and learning how to deal with people who might just be misunderstood.




If you know a middle grade or are interested in reading a middle grade novel full of humor and heart then I recommend School Friendship Solutions.


I give School Friendship Solutions five out of five stars!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
I found the book to be a bit slow. I found the plot to be a bit confusing and wondering what the actually is the school friendship solutions thing?!
3 Stars

School Friendship solutions was a quick read that followed Amy as she went through primary school.

I found this a bit lacking as it was quite short and didn't provide much depth, characterisation or a unique plot. The plot gave a heavy Dork diaries vibe from a mean rich girl bully, two best friends, a younger annoying sister, a quirky protagonist etc.

I found the writing a bit amateur and not very unique. It felt like it was trying to copy Dork Diaries again. Some bits of the plot were confusing and never really tied up in the end. Also what actually is the school friendship solutions thing??

Overall it wasn't for me but it might appeal to a younger audience.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the E-arc!
