My Thoughts:
These books are so cute! I really like them. In this book, we go with Iris to Hawaii for her cousin's wedding. She gets to be a flower girl again and make a new friend. There are new disasters to face, and the girls get creative in how they deal with the stress. Iris is also treated to some first hand cultural experiences.
This is another short and sweet story that will appeal to girls 7 and up. The characters are fun and the writing is easy to read and comprehend. It is about the same level as a Magic Treehouse book as far as difficulty, length, and age range go.
These books are great. I would gladly recommend them to anyone with girls in that age group.
