About the book
A humorous, heartfelt, highly illustrated new middle grade series about friendship, feelings, and finding your people, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sara Shepard.
A funny, touching, and richly illustrated new series for young readers about friendship, emotions, and discovering your tribe, written by Sara Shepard, the bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars.
Why does the cubby room always smell like farts? Who carved "I Am Bug Man" into my desk? Why is Mom acting so mysterious all of a sudden?
Starting fifth grade isn't as easy as Penny Lowry thought it would be, especially with her constant anxiety and endless questions. Luckily, there are things to look forward to, like Art Club, her favorite after-school activity, and reuniting with her best friend Violet after a long summer apart.
But something's different about Violet since her return. She's distant, dismissive of Art Club, and always with Riley, the school bully. Did Penny mess up? And if she did, can she fix it?
In this charmingly funny story of a lovable girl learning to navigate her anxiety, the author explores the importance of letting go of toxic friendships and making space for the ones that truly matter.
