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.
Kristen Gudsnuk takes readers on a magical adventure about
friendship in this fourth and final installment of her imaginative
Making Friends series. No magic. No sketchbook. No friends. Again?!
Dany's magical sketchbook has steered most of her middle-school
life so far - it even helped create her best friend, Madison. But
now that the sketchbook is gone, and Madison with it, Dany's back
to being a loner. Then one day, Dany tunes in to the new hit TV
show My Magical Best Friend, and it's starring her magical best
friend, Madison! The show is clearly based on Dany's life, and she
watches it regularly with a mix of horror and fascination. But
lately there's something else about the show that's captured her
attention: Madison seems to be dropping hints for Dany to come
rescue her. With no magical sketchbook at her fingertips, can Dany
find a way to save her best friend?

Inspired by Emily Hampshire's real life and friends. From the
weirdo mind of actor, writer, and producer Emily Hampshire
(SCHITT'S CREEK, CHAPELWAITE, 12 MONKEYS), AMELIA AIERWOOD: Basic
Witch follows the least-favorite daughter of L.A.’s most famous
family of witches, the Aierwoods. Amelia’s sisters have all
followed in the footsteps of their prominent parents but everything
Amelia does is just a little… off-brand. A late bloomer who has
yet to find her calling, Amelia uses her powers for mostly mundane
problems but even those lead to magical misfires. As her family's
fame continues to rise, they have no choice but to exclude their
bumbling black-sheep daughter from the next great chapter of the
Aierwoods - reality TV! With the help of her adopted brother
Spaghetti - who she accidentally turned into a yeti… long story -
Amelia must carve her own path outside of her family’s influence.
Dany's sketchbook is at it again, but this time it's not Dany's
doing! Dany and Madison are living a new reality. Rather than best
friends, the pair now believe they are twins -- and that isn't the
only part of their lives that has been completely rewritten. Their
mom is a novelist, their dad is a rock star, and Dany has suddenly
become a diligent student. Things. Aren't. Adding. Up. Dany and
Madison start sleuthing and discover that someone has drastically
altered the universe! Can the pair put things back the way they
were, or is this magic beyond their control?
The stunning graphic novel sequel to Making Friends. With
hilarious, heart-warming full-colour illustrations, Kristen Gudsnuk
explores friendship, school issues and magic. Dany, Madison, and
... wait, another Dany?! - must navigate some very complicated
friendships while trying to capture a magical dog that is turning
their town upside down! Almost everything is going great for Dany.
She and Madison are still best friends, she still has her magic
sketchbook, and the new school year is looking up. But when Dany
creates a duplicate of herself to secretly help with homework and
raise her social status, the two of them accidentally unleash a
magical dog that wreaks supernatural havoc on the town. Now, with
the big school dance coming up, time is running short for Dany,
Madison, and their friends to set things right before the night is
completely ruined!
Twelve-year-old Mackenzie Mac Lowell's dreams have come true.
Thanks to her mom scoring the coolest job EVER, Mac is going from
boy band fanatic to official tour member of her favorite group,
Perfect Storm. Good thing she's brought along her journal so she
can record every moment, every breath, and every one of lead singer
Zander Welling's killer smiles in written detail and daydreamy
doodles. But between a zillion tour stops and pranks gone wrong,
Zander and his fellow band members, Heath Holland and Kyle Beyer,
become more like brothers to Mac. When the boys' differences start
to drive them apart, can Perfect Storm's biggest fan remind them
why they'reperfect together? It'll be up to Mac--and her comic-book
alter ego, Mac Attack--to keep the band together and on the road to
stardom Chronicling her experiences on tour, Mac's journal springs
to life with black-and-white illustrations and comic-book panels
throughout its pages.
Praise for VIP: Battle of the Bands: "[Sufficiently] suffused with
the realistic energy of a preteen fan traveling with her favorite
band.... this offering's high-energy, high-interest diary format
interspersed with Mac's comics keeps the pages turning.... A fast
read frothing over with sugary pep and cuteness." Kirkus Reviews
"Calonita nicely captures the extremes of tween emotions, with
appropriate squeals, swoons, and tears. Friendship and loyalty take
center stage in this enjoyable addition to the VIP series."
Booklist Praise for VIP: I'm With the Band: An Amazon Best Books of
December 2015 Selection"Written in diary entries and interspersed
with vaguely manga-styled illustrations as well as some of
Mackenzie's comic-book stories, this hits the sweet spot for fans
of Dork Diaries. This tale of ultimate wish fulfillment is a
must-read for starry-eyed fans of boy bands." Kirkus Reviews
"Calonita (Flunked) targets Directioners and other boy band
devotees with this effervescent first book in the V.I.P.
series...Gudsnuk, creator of the Henchgirl webcomic, provides
exuberant comics sequences and spot illustrations throughout...The
real meat of this diary-style story lies in the behind-the-scenes
details of life on tour, as well as Mac's relationships with the
band members as she gets to know them as real people." Publishers
