Description
“Fresh and funny.” —New York Times Book Review
Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale and New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham join forces in this graphic memoir about how hard it is to find your real friends—and why it's worth the journey.
When best friends are not forever . . .
Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others.
Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group—or out?

I love how Shannon wrote it and she pointed out that she was a member of the church and I love that it took place in Utah. Thank you for writing this book. PS: I’m a member of the church too so that’s another reason I love this series and you should also read all three of the princess academies by this same author.

5By Goldie AnnoyedThis book is my favourite and my daughter in 6th grade she has read it over like 20 times I can’t get her away from it! This is still my favourite as an adult!Wow- just wow
5By i_love_graphic_novelsI was looking for a book that would be somewhat relatable. I came across this book, i read the sample and then i was automatically in love with this book. The message is really important and understandable. I’m going to read the sequel, “Best Friends”. This book really changed my life honestly.
