A heart-warming graphic novel that thoughtfully explores
friendship, family and school issues. Danielle needs a perfect
friend, but sometimes making (or creating) one is a lot easier than
keeping one! Sixth grade was SO much easier for Dany - she knew
exactly what to expect out of life. Now that she's in seventh
grade, she's in a new middle school, her friends are in different
classes and forming new cliques, and she is totally lost. What Dany
really needs is a new best friend! So when she inherits a magic
sketchbook, she draws Madison, the most amazing, perfect, and
awesome best friend ever. The thing is, even when you create a best
friend, there's no guarantee they'll always be your best friend.
Especially when they discover they've been created with magic!
Sometimes making a friend is a lot easier than keeping one! Brought
to life in glorious full-colour by author and comic book creator,
Kristen Gudsnuk.
