"Who Sent the Pink Carnation?"

Fresh Fiction Review

This novel is written from Jemma's point of view, the reader will love getting to know her character much better. Jemma has recently decided to focus on The Pink Locker Society and NOT on boys, particularly a boy named Forrest. When she receives a pink carnation for Valentine's Day, Jemma is left confused. She is certain Forrest did not send the carnation to her, but she can't make an educated guess as to who might have sent the carnation. This little mystery makes the book a fun, fast- paced read.

The girls also decide to go more public with their little club. However, they do not receive quite the reaction they were looking for. When the girls learn they might not be able to go on a class trip, they know they must scramble to make sure they are allowed to go before graduation day. The story takes off from here.

Overall, anyone who enjoyed the first books in this series is bound to enjoy this one. The book is a light read, but fun and it can be exciting in places. The characters were likable, the events were intriguing, and there is that small mystery Jemma still has to solve. This book is recommended to teen/middle grade readers.

SUMMARY

Inspired by the popular KidsHealth website, THE PINK LOCKER SOCIETY features a trio of teens who have taken on a mysterious mission--to help middle school girls by answering their questions about anything, especially the PBBs (Periods, Bras, and Boys).

For the first time in a long time, Jemma, Piper, and Kate have tossed boys aside to spend time on their one true love: THE PINK LOCKER SOCIETY. And with the help of two-well placed school officials, they're back in their swanky pink offices. But how long will it last?

Jemma is juggling school, the cross country team, becoming a big sister, and all the Pink Locker action, including a tough new problem from a bullied classmate. With 8th grade graduation around the corner, the girls have to decide who will carry on the Pink Locker Society's important mission. Are there 7th graders who have the right stuff to be in the PLS? And just as Jemma's life is bursting with excitement, Forrest reappears and seems genuinely interested in her. Even though she keeps him at arms' length, she has one lingering question: Was he the one who sent her a pink carnation on Valentine's Day?

From crushes, to friendship, to family surprises, GIRLS IN CHARGE explores the concerns that so many young girls talk about with their friends. Funny, entertaining, and honest, this fourth installment of the Pink Locker Society series feels like having your BFF by your side.
