Pay attention to the rating.
It's PG = Parental Guidance.
It's not intended for 8 year olds.
Read the storyline. Read the reviews that have spoilers.
I found it a refreshing and light hearted look at the relationships smart and funny young girls have with each other, with their peers, and with their parents.
Yes they "lie" to try and go to a concert. Yes, the girls have crushes on boys. Yes they focus on the main character needing to be NOT overly dramatic. These things happen in real life to 13 year olds.
But they also show incredibly close relationships within family and extended family. They show how important respect for your elders is.
