I have loved all of Shannon Hale's "Friends" books and this was no different。 I cannot wait to recommend this to my middle school readers。 This graphic novel memoir focuses on Shannon's struggles with depression and anxiety through middle school， trying to fit in with friends， and finding how she fits into her family。 This book is amazingly well suited to the age of it's readers， who may be struggling with the same challenges as Shannon。 I feel that the illustrations will help readers identify f I have loved all of Shannon Hale's "Friends" books and this was no different。 I cannot wait to recommend this to my middle school readers。 This graphic novel memoir focuses on Shannon's struggles with depression and anxiety through middle school， trying to fit in with friends， and finding how she fits into her family。 This book is amazingly well suited to the age of it's readers， who may be struggling with the same challenges as Shannon。 I feel that the illustrations will help readers identify feelings they can't name。 I appreciated the letter from the author at the end， in essence "debriefing" the reader of what happened in the book， and providing resources if they are facing similar situations。 。。。more

In the third installment in this series， we follow Shannon into her 8th grade experiences with middle school， friendships， relationships， and the struggles that come with this particular season of life and trying to figure out who you are。 It also makes topics that can sometimes be heavy or hard for teens to talk about， approachable in a way that would make readers not only understand but also feel like it is okay to open up about them。 The artwork gave awesome nods to middle school 80s with the In the third installment in this series， we follow Shannon into her 8th grade experiences with middle school， friendships， relationships， and the struggles that come with this particular season of life and trying to figure out who you are。 It also makes topics that can sometimes be heavy or hard for teens to talk about， approachable in a way that would make readers not only understand but also feel like it is okay to open up about them。 The artwork gave awesome nods to middle school 80s with the magazines， the book covers， and the note styles。 I also really loved the author's note and details coming through in the yearbook style at the end of the story。 Additionally， the artwork did a great job of mirroring the motions felt by Shannon。 This books has so much to say and so much worth discussing。 。。。more

E ARC provided by Edelweiss PlusVery much in keeping with the other two books in the series。 Readers who like graphic novels with lots of anxiety and trauma will definitely gobble up this autobiographical tale of Hale's experiences in 8th grade。 There are helpful end notes about dealing with a variety of mental health issues。 E ARC provided by Edelweiss PlusVery much in keeping with the other two books in the series。 Readers who like graphic novels with lots of anxiety and trauma will definitely gobble up this autobiographical tale of Hale's experiences in 8th grade。 There are helpful end notes about dealing with a variety of mental health issues。 。。。more

Shannon Hale's third installment of her popular Friends graphic novel memoir series is relatable， funny， and realistic in its portrayal of middle-school friendships， crushes， and mental health issues。 I'm so grateful for these books that help young readers recognize their own struggles and give them hope。 Friends Forever is not just about those awkward years， but about the friendships that shape who we are and reflect who we want to be。 This will be well-loved in school libraries， classrooms， an Shannon Hale's third installment of her popular Friends graphic novel memoir series is relatable， funny， and realistic in its portrayal of middle-school friendships， crushes， and mental health issues。 I'm so grateful for these books that help young readers recognize their own struggles and give them hope。 Friends Forever is not just about those awkward years， but about the friendships that shape who we are and reflect who we want to be。 This will be well-loved in school libraries， classrooms， and youth departments。 。。。more

Oof。 So honest that it was hard to read at times， but definitely a book kids will benefit from。

Shannon Hale continues her nearly autobiographical graphic novel series with this latest installment which young Shannon beginning 8th grade still looking to find her niche and become beautiful and popular。 Hopefully， MG readers will read through to the end when she seems to finally be recognizing that she is wonderful just the way she is because she is truly obsessed with superficial looks。 However， the realism of middle school rings out from each and every page as students struggle to make and Shannon Hale continues her nearly autobiographical graphic novel series with this latest installment which young Shannon beginning 8th grade still looking to find her niche and become beautiful and popular。 Hopefully， MG readers will read through to the end when she seems to finally be recognizing that she is wonderful just the way she is because she is truly obsessed with superficial looks。 However， the realism of middle school rings out from each and every page as students struggle to make and keep friends， deal with class work and teachers， and agonize over things like what to wear on picture day！ As Shannon gets older， the scenarios described in her life do as well and some may wonder if this series remains appropriate for the 4th and 5th graders who began reading it with Real Friends， but Hale keeps the text and illustrations free of profanity， violence and sexual content。 8th grade crushes are strictly rated “G。” Thanks for the dARC， NetGalley。 。。。more

This chapter preview gave a great premise for setting up book three in Shannon Hale's graphic novel biography。 This series has been incredibly popular with my students because Shannon is such a relatable character。 The idiosyncrasies of middle school make a perfect premise for kids to realize that they aren't the only one who feels like they aren't perfect and they don't quite belong。 Shannon brings real life to the characters and helps others to realize that others are just like them。 Grades: 4 This chapter preview gave a great premise for setting up book three in Shannon Hale's graphic novel biography。 This series has been incredibly popular with my students because Shannon is such a relatable character。 The idiosyncrasies of middle school make a perfect premise for kids to realize that they aren't the only one who feels like they aren't perfect and they don't quite belong。 Shannon brings real life to the characters and helps others to realize that others are just like them。 Grades: 4-8Please Note: A copy of this book was given to us by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review。。 All opinions expressed are our own。 No financial compensation was received。 。。。more

Graphic NovelI received an electronic ARC from First Second Books through NetGalley。Hale brings us back into Shannon's middle school world。 This time， readers see her eighth grade year。 Hale's writing style is warm and inviting。 She invites readers to become part of the story。 Readers will connect to the emotions shared and hidden as they either experience this time period along with the characters or remember this time in their lives。 The artwork captures the emotional gamut and adds subtle und Graphic NovelI received an electronic ARC from First Second Books through NetGalley。Hale brings us back into Shannon's middle school world。 This time， readers see her eighth grade year。 Hale's writing style is warm and inviting。 She invites readers to become part of the story。 Readers will connect to the emotions shared and hidden as they either experience this time period along with the characters or remember this time in their lives。 The artwork captures the emotional gamut and adds subtle undertones as the story unfolds。 I've appreciated Hale's vulnerability in sharing her memories and offering support for those currently coping with mental health concerns in the middle grade years。 The self affirmation and encouragement come through clearly。 This is one that will be checked out constantly。 。。。more

Amazing chapter preview！ Immediately speaks to the messages girls receive constantly about how they should look， behave， move and act in order to gain the attention of others instead of doing things for yourself。 Can't wait to see the rest of the book。 Amazing chapter preview！ Immediately speaks to the messages girls receive constantly about how they should look， behave， move and act in order to gain the attention of others instead of doing things for yourself。 Can't wait to see the rest of the book。 。。。more
