Together Forever (Making Friends #4)

by Kristen Gudsnuk (Author) Kristen Gudsnuk (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Making Friends

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?

Making Friends is the Scott Pilgrim for the tweenage set, perfect for any younger readers' graphic novel collection. — School Library Journal, starred review

Gudsnuk's powers of imagination will make her plenty of friends. — Publishers Weekly

This charming graphic novel features full-color, manga-inspired illustrations and a breezy plot that blends wish fulfillment and fantasy with an approachable and contemporary storyline.

A nifty pastiche of middle school matters. — Kirkus Reviews

Middle-schoolers, meanwhile, will appreciate Gudsnuk's light touch in bringing an empathetic, joyful, and judicious treatment to those tough in-between years. — Booklist

 

Praise for Making Friends: Back to the Drawing Board:

Gudsnuk's bubbly, playful artwork, in a warm palette dominated by pink and purple and dense with detail and expressive, goggle-eyed faces, is a pleasure to look at. — Booklist
