Babymouse: Queen of the World by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm

Babymouse: Queen of the World by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm is about Babymouse and her quest for popularity.  She is convinced if she gets an invitation to Felicia Furrypants's slumber party, they'll become best friends.  So, Babymouse tries just a bout everything to get an invite... she bakes cupcakes, recommends books, and even gives Felicia her book report!  Finally, she receives an invitation!  But, it turns out to be the same night as her movie party with her best friend Winston.  Knowing Winston will understand, Babymouse attends the sleepover instead.  What she finds out is that in her quest for becoming queen of the world, Babymouse overlooked the fact that her life was pretty darn good to begin with!

This was a cute story that just about any girl who's attended school will be able to relate to.  Poor Babymouse doesn't realize that she has everything she ever wanted because she is so focused on hanging out with the popular kids.  This is a graphic novel and a quick read.  I'd recommend it to girls from 4th grade through 6th grade.
