Purple Nails and Puppy Tails by Jill Santopolo -- ADVISABLE

Santopolo, Jill Purple Nails and Puppy Tails (Sparkle Spa #2), 120 pgs. Aladdin Books, 2014. $5.99. Content: G.

Aly and Brooke are putting their manicurist skills to work to raise money for a puppy shelter -- and then decorating the dogs' nails so potential adopters will take the puppies home.

This was a cute, quick read. It was nice to see so many people pitch in for a good cause, and to watch Aly and Brooke resolve the differences that cropped up between them. While I liked All That Glitters more, this was a fun follow-up, and, for those who do not read series books in order, it stands on its own well enough. The primer at the back is a nice touch, teaching readers how to paint their own nails with an added puppy paw design. The tips on avoiding smudges and stains are also helpful.
