Explanation Concering Books Thank You, Lucky Stars
It’s the first day of fifth grade, and Ally is psyched. She and her best friend, Betsy, are in the same class, and have already planned on singing in the annual talent show together. But it’s not long before she sees that Betsy has made a new best friend, and Ally is no longer on her radar screen. Not to mention that the weird new kid, Tina, has glommed on to Ally. In this phenomenally accurate and readable portrayal of the trials and tribulations of fifth grade, readers will watch a quirky, sensitive, and extraordinarily likeable girl try to survive. Narrated in Ally’s distinctive first person voice, Thank You, Lucky Stars beautifully illustrates that it is possible to be unpopular, individualistic, nice, and still have fun.

Loved how she explored how we view ourselves, others, and what friendships we deem necessary and embarassing.Awesome Book I love it I would read it a hundred times!
This book is about a girl named ally who has a best friend named betsy but betsy left her and ally made a new friend named tina and she is crazy and weird
Ally is a girl who starts a new year of school with one less best friend and torment from a boy in her class. It is not looking good until Tina, a new girl with Princess Leia buns and too-short leggings, shows up and befriends Ally. A story of what it is like to lose friends, gain friends and determine what real friendship looks like, Thank You, Lucky Stars is a good middle-school read, although the disco references may allude younger readers.
I started out liking it quite a bit, but it had what I considered weak spots as it went on. It does show the angst that happens to so many grade school girls when their best friend finds another best friend (seems like friendships at that age always occur in even numbers) and addresses the feelings of the "social outcast".
When her best friend dumps her on the first day of fifth grade Ally is devastated. She is picked on and bullied. If that's not bad enough, the weirdo new girl thinks they are best friends. It turns she is. A nicely written coming of age story.
Loved it.
