Mango Delight

(3) 4-6 During seventh grade, African American Mango loses her BFF; gets cast in the school musical; becomes fake friends with the richest, meanest girl in school to help her own dad get a job; and ultimately learns that sometimes good people do the wrong thing for the right reason. This entertaining middle-school story features a wonderfully diverse set of characters and slangy tween dialogue.
