Get Started The Making Friends books are a middle-grade graphic novel series about a girl who tries to use magic to help adjust to seventh grade by creating her very own best friend. Who Wrote the Making Friends Series?I also was not a fan of Dany. I don't need characters to be "likable". Even the use of that word makes me cringe, because I hate the idea that there's a belief out there that readers are supposed to identify and sympathize with all characters when that's simply not the case. However, my problem with Dany is she is the hero of this book and things do end up turning out okay for her, but she never experiences the kind of growth I would have liked to see in a character who ends up being redeemed. She moans and complains a lot about how unfortunate she is and how no one likes her, but never once do we even see her trying to reach out to other kids, and more than once, other kids reach out to her in clearly friendly ways. I found myself very confused about what Dany was complaining about, and I was impatient with her self-centeredness. Had she arrived at a sense of self-awareness by the end of the book, I would have welcomed that, but I never felt she did. This is a gorgeously upbeat and colourful book about friendship for young children, with a fabulous twist towards the end. Hello Friendby Rebecca Cobb Starting school is tough when you are a dinosaur and the rest of the class contains humans. But, Penelope learns the proper way to turn classmates into friends in We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins. Can Cat and Bird Be Friends? When I first meet someone new for treatment, I start by saying that discomfort and anxiety are just feelings, like any other feelings. Anxiety, in and of itself, is not “bad”—it can even be very important when it works properly. It can teach us what might not be safe. If I am crossing a busy intersection, I need something that lets me know when I have to act. Discomfort helps us to learn, to decipher what we value, what we want, and what we would like to avoid.

Keep shining your light and you will attract others to you and that’s just what happens in Chirp! Chipmunk Sings for a Friend by Jamie A. Swenson. While the story here had potential, there was just too much being crammed in for it to develop properly. There's the secret admirer, the genie dog, the family stuff, clones, a dance, theft and bullying .... I mean, the principal basically steals and Dany just lets it go. Dany's uncle and aunt aren't nasty pieces of work to the same degree they were .... So much annoyed me. So much! Dany is pretty normal. Usually, in these type of stories, the main character is whiny, annoying, or special-snowflakey. Dany might be a touch of that, but she's still likable to me.The little girl in this story is determined to befriend a boy in her class. They share their lunch, play with toys, and run around the playground together. But he seems very shy... does he like being her friend as much as she likes being his? I honestly enjoyed the entire cast of characters, relatability, and artwork. Yes, to that cute, expressive artwork. The light humor is great too, not cringy just right. What Dany really needs is a new best friend! So when she inherits a magic sketchbook from her eccentric great-aunt in which anything she sketches in it comes to life, she draws Madison, the most amazing, perfect, and awesome best friend ever. About Book: This book is about enjoying people, dealing with prophets of doom, how to say NO sometimes, prevailing over gossip, pettiness and anger. It is about understanding that IF YOU WANT FRIENDSHIP, YOU MUST BE A FRIEND FIRST. The book is funny reading too with a lot of serious learning. It has lot of comical strips which are perfectly able to convey the message. Like one says – “There are 70% people having problem with their partners. Ok, what about the rest of 30%. Oh, they are singles.” Another one says – “But I don’t want to concentrate on my business, yours is more interesting than mine.” There are lot many more, all interesting, funny but meaningful. Author says “Being Happy” was about yourself, this book is about people around you, people who depend on you, those you want to see, and those you avoid. Tom is also equally fun. He's an adorable character obsessed with conspiracy theories and can think for himself. Gasp. A middle-school character not consumed with popularity? Yep, that's him.

Now that she’s in seventh grade, she’s in a new middle school, her friends are in different classes and forming new cliques, and she is totally, completely lost. Like yourself, love yourself, but don’t ignore others, like others too, don’t be too proud of yourself. How do you go about making friends when nobody seems to want to say 'I love you'? Dimitri is new at nursery and determined to tell everyone (and everything) that he loves them, but it's frustrating when you're the only one saying it. Dimitri's mum explains that people show their love for each other in different ways - like Berthe the dinner lady's smile, or the man in the park who gives the strays cats tuna. Dimitri feels better, and begins to understand that there are as many different ways of saying 'I love you' as there are people in the world.Ugh. I have tons of questions because so many things were just introduced and left hanging. But I honestly don't care enough about the characters or the book to want the series to continue. Dany is struggling with homework and to be popular so she makes a clone of herself. Dany's parents also won a lifetime lotto and her mum got skinny. When Dany breaks a vase by mistake, a dog is release from it and she realizes that it must be a dog jinni and she figures out how her parents won the lottery and how her mum got skinny in such short time. When she confronts her parents, they all realize that they all know about magic and Dany's parents confiscate some of her magical items. Dany's uncle and aunty have also got themselves a good life finally. Later on when Dany tried to mindwipe her parents, her mum realizes that Dany still has access to magic and she confiscates her sketchbook as well. Danielle or Dany as she prefers came across a magical sketch book from her great-aunt Elma and she made herself a friend who came real and she also made head of Prince Neptune who turned out to be evil and he was sent to the moon in the last book by Dany and her friends. They call themselves Solar Sisters. I hated this book. I thought that the book was all over the place and I felt as though I had no real idea of what was going on. The main character was not very likable and most of the story revolved around a fictional TV show that the reader has never seen, so it is confusing to the reader what is happening. I was also disappointed in the ending because there was little closure.
