Summary:
This graphic memoir follows Shannon's life from kindergarten through fifth grade, during which she experiences the joy of making first friends while navigating the tricky waters of cliques, bullies, and the popular crowd.
This story is a memoir of author Shannon Hale's life making friendships in elementary school. She details the turns she had in friendships as well as the anxiety she experiences finding her place in her family and in her school community. She experienced heart breaking friendship problems and was always trying to figure out how to make and keep a friend. She tells in a note at the end of the book how she used her diaries to help her write this book although not all the names and situations are exact. I highly recommend this to parents and teachers to read and then pass on to girls who are having trouble with friends. Shannon gives comfort in showing that they are not alone.
