The unique writing of Ivy + Bean meets the pep of Clementine and
the authentic humor of Dory Fantasmagory in this chapter book
series about two girls with the same name and absolutely,
definitely, NOTHING else in common. Over the course of a week in
school, this bighearted, true-to-life chapter book will resonate
with any young reader who's ever felt overlooked, second-best, or
defined according to someone else. The first in a series, Best
Friends-Ish provides a fresh take on the joys and traumas of
elementary school drama. More than anything, second-grader Audrey
wants to be the best at something. It always feels like she's
not-quite-enough-not smart enough, not fast enough, not funny
enough. When her beloved Miss Fincastle announces that a new girl,
another AUDREY, is joining the class, Audrey suddenly becomes
Audrey L., which makes her feel worse than ever. But is the new
Audrey all bad? Might the two Audreys have more in common than just
their name? And if the girls become friends, how will Audrey ever
figure out how to be her best self-if she can't even be the best
Audrey? Visually dynamic and narratively unique, this chapter book
series is perfect for fans of the Ivy + Bean, Deckawoo Drive, and
The Penderwicks series. TONS OF ILLUSTRATIONS: The book has many
black and white illustrations throughout, providing newer readers
with the perfect on-ramp from early readers into novels. There's
something visual on every page. EMPATHY READ FOR BEGINNING READERS:

their similarities, and making new friends. COMING-OF-AGE IN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: This book encourages young readers to consider
and celebrate the things that make them unique, while recognizing

thing. A DILEMMA EVERY KID FACES: Having to share a name with a
classmate is one of the biggest nightmares for a kid. That extra
last name initial becomes a part of who you are for years to come.
It's an annoying, funny subject that kids everywhere will relate
to. UNFORGETTABLE, FUNNY WRITING: Carter Higgins's writing is

with an unforgettable voice that doesn't sound like any other
chapter books. Perfect for: Beginning readers, Parents, Educators,
