Milla Takes Charge

(4) 4-6 Daring Dreamers Club series. Illustrated by Anoosha Syed. Five fifth-grade girls idolize Disney princesses and have big dreams. Milla, who identifies with Belle and wants to be a travel writer, convinces her two overprotective moms to let her go to Adventure Camp, where she and her friends thrive. The girls' dialogue is often overly formal, but their diverse backgrounds and aspirations (which are also reflected in Syed's lively illustrations) signal the start of a worthwhile high-interest series.
