New Book Preview - Real Friends

Thanks to NetGalley and FirstSecond books I got a preview of Shannon Hale's new autobiographical graphic novel, and it is amazing. It's coming out May 2, 2017 and you don't want to miss it.

Real Friends by Shannon Hale, ill. by LeUyen Pham

Shannon Hale relates her elementary years, her ups and downs in finding, keeping, and recognizing good friends. She also shares about dealing with emotional bullies at school, anxiety, and an older sister who took out some of her own frustrations on Shannon. 

Why you don't want to miss this new book:

• Great advice for elementary kids discovering that good friends are hard to find.
• A good dose of hope for kids who find/found elementary hard.
• Advice on how to deal with bullies and have boundaries.
• Shows some of the signs of anxiety and there's information on how to get help in the back.
• A relatable book for shy kids.
• Fantastic graphic novel format with superb illustrations by LeUyen Pham.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
