Real Friends by Shannon Hale, illustrated by LeUyen Pham

In this graphic memoir for young readers, Hale depicts her struggles with friendships throughout her elementary years, from making and losing a best friend, to being a less-popular member of an in-crowd, to branching out and making new friendships. She also touches on a difficult relationship with an older sister.

This is a very heartfelt and realistic examination of childhood friendships. A lot of Hale’s experiences were familiar to me, and I bet other readers will feel the same. Recommended to fans of Victoria Jamieson and Raina Telgemeier.

(Reviewed from a copy borrowed through my library system.)
