Cartoonist Kristen Gudsnuk (Modern Fantasy, Henchgirl) appears at WORD Bookstore on Sunday, February 17, 2019 at 1:00 PM to present and sign her new book about imagination and confidence MAKING FRIENDS.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Sometimes making a friend is a lot easier than keeping one! Sixth grade was SO much easier for Danny. All her friends were in the same room and she knew exactly what to expect out of life. 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. What Danny 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. The thing is, even when you create a best friend, there’s no guarantee they’ll always be your best friend. Especially when they discover they’ve been created with magic!
