Hale, Shannon

Real Friends

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Color by Jane Poole. Hale recounts her elementary-school years in this graphic memoir. Readers will empathize with Shannon's experiences of being left out, teased, and bullied, and they'll feel relieved once she learns how to find real friends and avoid toxic ones. Illustrator Pham's often humorous yet always sensitive depictions of the characters' emotions make the book even more affecting. Hand to fans of Raina Telgemeier and Cece Bell.
