Friend, And . . .

First written when Sherwood Smith was a teen, the series called CJ’s Notebooks feature a gang of girls around thirteen-year-old Queen Clair of Mearsies Heili. The M girls, as they come to be known, prefer their villains silly, their throwing pies gloppy, and their adventures fun. But villains don’t ask first if the girls want to be dragged into dangerous escapades, so they’ve had more than their share.

In this third notebook, the M girls indulge in storytelling between adventures with some new and old friends (and enemies). Plus, there will always be sinister encounters with the Chwahir, particularly when Clair and Jilo meet face to face at last.

And then there is the girls’ favorite, the “Great Pie Fight!”

This is the last of the home adventures before they get dragged into world affairs . . .
