“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?

its so good and i read it in one night!!!!

This book it sorta like my life right now. NO my friend DOESN'T have long flowing hair and NO ,her group does not have a bully who bullies me. I had i friend who was really kind to me and also was kinda mean. She and i we're best friends till the end. BUT. one day and my others friends house we we're having a sleepover there for her birthday. When everybody was doing zombie tag, me and my friend joined in. When i was (ABOUT) to be the winner, my friend popped up behind a chair i got sick and tired of her JUMPING OUT OF NO WHERE AND SCARE ME.. so i hitted her and punched her while screaming at her. She left the the chair crying and for the whole sleepover she ignored me. When we got back to school she made a group to ignore me and told rumors about be and told people that i am a killer and i killed my old dog Missy. SHE DIED!! SO DON'T GO TATTLING THAT I KILLED MY DOG WHEN SHE ONLY DIED BECAUSE OF OLD AGE!!! Anyway.. she was the most popular kid and now i'm still struggling to make an ACTUAL friend. So.. D: yeah..

It is a book about friendship. I read it about 5 times. It is so good!!!

If I had an account i would make this 4 stars because i love the book but i think the illustrations were good but i didn't like how they drew the teeth.

I gust love that BOOK!!!!!

This book was so good. I also encourage you all to read according to aggie which was also a really good book that I read.

This is a hilarious touching story that shows that friends can change but so can you so you must be careful about who you trust!

This is a pretty good book, all about the ties of friendship, bit I think its overly emphasizing on that. They should have a main goal or topic besides friendship, b/c that's already and overused topic/cliche.
