Following little Shannon's life from kindergarten through fifth grade, Real Friends captures the emotional roller coaster ride of friendship, from navigating the tricky waters of cliques and bullies to her never-ending struggle to stay in 'The Group.' Shannon's honest and heartfelt story reminds us of how hard it was to learn what real friends are - and why finding them is worth the journey.
My girls keep this book off the shelves, so it was a miracle I was able to snag this book. I love that the characters are drawn as close to real life as possible. It's also wonderful how Hale includes her struggle with anxiety and OCD in the storyline. Great read, and now I need to recirculate it before I have a revolution on my hands.
