YOUNGER FICTION
Warner, Sally

Absolutely Alfie and the First Week Friends

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Shearry Malone. African American second-grader Alfie (little sis to Warner's EllRay Jakes) always has a plan, but things seldom go the way she imagines in these amiable realistic stories about family, school, and friendship. Malone's comical loose line drawings deviate from the EllRay books' aesthetic, establishing a fresh look for this new spinoff series. Review covers these titles: Absolutely Alfie and the First Week Friends and Absolutely Alfie and the Furry Purry Secret.
