The characters were charmingly displayed as young teenagers. Avery is obviously a sports girl who couldn't care less about the way she looks and the latest fashion trends. She and her two friends seem extremely similar in this way until Charlotte introduces Shelby. Suddenly, the girls aren't so similar anymore. Charlotte and Shelby are more fashionistas while Avery and Bianca adamantly maintain their position that fashion and softball don't mix. While this makes room for the typical teenage girl drama, it effortlessly portrays the story as one that would happen in real life. The conclusion of the story was simply heartwarming as the girls regained their friendship and discovered that fashion and softball can mix together. While some of the rules of softball were never completely explained and left me slightly confused, I was able to follow the several games that took place pretty easily. - LitPick Moseso The latest book in the Lady Tigers series introduces Paige Ashley Brotherton as the author of Avery Appreciates True Friendship. It flows well with the rest of the series, and like all the Lady Tigers books, I found it to be a fast, enjoyable read. One thing that I appreciate about all the books in the Lady Tigers series is the way they incorporate positive themes and values. Avery Appreciates True Friendship emphasizes some important lessons about friendship: be yourself and don't try to change to be popular with others, friendship shouldn't be possessive - friends are meant to be shared - and try to work out your problems - don't just give up on your friendships. I would recommend this book for girls, especially those who love sports/softball, ages 8-12. - LitPick HawkReader10 Avery Appreciates True Friendship is a truly delightful story about how important it is to work as a team. Despite being the fourth book in the series, there was no mention of earlier tales, and it seems as if each book focuses on a different girl on the softball team. Therefore, it is not imperative to read the previous stories in the series before reading this one The characters were charmingly displayed as young teenagers.
