Nayuleska's thoughts
I was
taken aback a bit by who the narrator was - Me is a refreshing best friend, has
great courage and acts in unexpected ways which although not diplomatic
certainly makes a point. The town which Mabel and me walk through is one Id
love to explore - I loved the name plaque for Strolly Street, and the cats in
the windows were cute. I hope more stories will come for Mabel and Me, as Me's
viewpoint is an entertaining one. Boo to the people who dissed Me! Friends may
not have lots in common, but the bond which ties them together is stronger than
steel, as Mabel and Me discover.
