Illustrated by
Sara Palacios.
Lola (star of Lola Knows a Lot) moves to a new neighborhood and away from her old friends. Happily, she's an expert friend-maker with plenty of experience. Expressive mixed-media illustrations and Lola's sassy first-person narrative combine for a humorous and honest look at the good--and the difficult--parts of forming lasting friendships.

After causing a mess, anxious young armadillo Lola runs away; she soon meets up with other animals likewise catastrophizing about their own accidents. The new friends first plan to hide in the library "FOREVER!" but ultimately learn to take responsibility for their mistakes and move on. Hyperbolic speech-bubble dialogue and aptly hectic illustrations convey the panic that will be familiar to many young readers.
