Description

A National and New York Times Bestseller!

The creators of Real Friends Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham are back with a true story about popularity, first crushes, and finding your own path in the graphic novel, Best Friends.

Follow your heart. Find your people.

Sixth grade is supposed to be perfect. Shannon’s got a sure spot in the in-crowd called The Group, and her best friend is their leader, Jen, the most popular girl in school.

But the rules are always changing, and Shannon has to scramble to keep up. She never knows which TV shows are cool, what songs to listen to, and who she’s allowed to talk to. Who makes these rules, anyway? And does Shannon have to follow them?

    It’s sad. All the girls got one but Shannon, even Emily who was late and they got her one but not Shannon.😭 Shannon Hale, you did not deserve that in your childhood unless it was one of your made up events to help the flow but still it’s sad. Otherwise it’s an amazing book.😁😁😁😁
  • Great Book!

    I love hale’s books because they not only teach you, but it also is one of the only writers that gives you that very feeling, for whatever emotion it is. Her books are one of the only books that have actually made me cry on the sad parts because it is so understanding. Her books often make me feel not alone, that is the core reason why I like it!
  • Great but didn’t catch me at first…

    In the beginning i was kinda forcing myself to read, and then i got pretty in to it. I needed a break from reading for a while so I decided to pick it up in a few weeks. And that’s when i got in to it. I started relating to the book in a way i have never related to a book before. This book is great although most books sequels aren’t as good as the first book, this really killed it!
