Shannon Hale’s Real Friends is such a heartfelt and relatable peek into her elementary school years. It captures all the highs and lows of childhood friendships. The excitement of finding a best friend, the sting of jealousy, and the lessons of figuring out who really belongs in your heart.
Kids will love it, especially if they enjoy the charming, honest stories of Raina Telgemeier or Cece Bell. It’s one of those books that stays with you long after you finish it.

Natasha loves getting lost in books and movies. When she’s not reading or writing, you’ll probably find her sketching or binging on a new show. She’s all about romance, psychological horror, and drama. She has a soft spot for graphic novels, manga, and anything animated.
