Chiefly illustrations.
Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale and New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham join forces in this graphic memoir about how hard it is to find your real friends--and why it's worth the journey. When her best friend Adrienne starts hanging out with the most popular girl in class, Shannon questions with whether she and Adrienne will stay friends, and if she is part of the clique.

Dumb submitted by adeesh on June 16, 2017, 1:54pm Too many books like this already

A Good Summer Book submitted by lguenthner on June 17, 2018, 2:13pm I love this book! It is a funny, loopy story that shows the true meaning of friendship and how hard it can be to see what's right at times. I definitely recommend this book to people.

A Great Graphic Novel submitted by SadieRose on June 19, 2018, 9:35am Real friends is a happy, and sometimes sad book. I hope you check it out. I read it a lot because I liked it so much!

Not good or realistic submitted by GwenC on July 20, 2018, 12:53pm I could maybe expect something to happen in middle school like this but elementary school? A bit to intense and sad.

Rings True submitted by lcbuday on August 18, 2018, 12:48pm What a great memoir! Shannon Hale's style of storytelling is wonderful and distinctive. "Real Friends" captures the utter weirdness of trying to navigate social scenes as a kid.

Great story! submitted by kjshaffer on July 7, 2019, 9:28pm This book is slightly sad but turns out great in the end! It's even a true story which makes it very interesting.

Ok submitted by emilysuzanne on July 30, 2019, 10:13pm I liked it. It was my first book of the summer and I’m excited to read more by this author.

Good! submitted by jakabs on June 16, 2020, 10:38am Great story. I have read this book many times and it never gets old.

Awesome! submitted by avgriffith on July 5, 2020, 12:58pm Cute and realistic. Some parts can be funny! It is a good story of a girl and her struggles in school.

Realistic submitted by aamasud on July 6, 2020, 9:16pm Its a girl story about her struggle in school

So good submitted by quynhssong on July 25, 2022, 6:18pm Soooo sooo good! The fact that it’s true, and it happened to the writer makes it even better…
