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:
This book is about embracing people's differences, understanding
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
that sharing some of those traits with someone else isn't a bad
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
special. This storytelling is friendly, funny, and genuinely good,
with an unforgettable voice that doesn't sound like any other
chapter books. Perfect for: Beginning readers, Parents, Educators,
Librarians, Grandparents, Anyone looking for a new series, Readers
who love books set at school

A birthday party sets the scene in this sweet and relatable story
for anyone who's ever been the odd girl out.
It's Ginger's birthday, and she has to invite all the girls in her
class to her party, including Lyla Browning. Lyla isn't like the
other girls: she smells like old leaves, doesn't talk much, and
once brought a tarantula to school for show-and-tell. On the day of
the party, Lyla is much earlier than everyone else. But even after
the others arrive, Ginger's party doesn't go quite the way she'd
hoped: some of the girls change the rules to the games, and no one
likes her silver and gold birthday cake -- except Lyla. By the time
Lyla gives Ginger her present -- a tiny homemade nest with two
delicious malted-milk eggs -- Ginger begins to wonder: is being
different really such a bad thing?
Ernestine has never been camping before, but she's sure it will be
lots of fun ... won't it? My Aunt Jackie invited me to go camping
with her and my cousin Samantha this weekend. I've never been
camping before, but I know I will love it... Ernestine is beyond
excited to go camping. She follows the packing list carefully (new
sleeping bag! new flashlight! special snack mix made with Dad!) so
she knows she is ready when the weekend arrives. But she quickly
realizes that nothing could have prepared her for how hard it is to
set up a tent, never mind fall asleep in it, or that swimming in a
lake means that there will be fish ... eep! Will Ernestine be able
to enjoy the wilderness, or will it prove to be a bit too far out
of her comfort zone? In an energetic illustrated story about a
first sleepover under the stars, acclaimed author-illustrated
Jennifer K. Mann reminds us that opening your mind to new
experiences, no matter how challenging, can lead to great memories
(and a newfound taste for marshmallows).
