4-6Daphne's Diary of Daily Disasters series.
Fourth-grader Daphne and her best friend Kaylee navigate the difficulties of acquiring two new friends: Imogen, a fellow math-enthusiast whom Daphne likes, and Darla, Imogen's "gatekeeper" friend whom Daphne doesn't like. Hand-lettered notebook-style text with simple cartoon line drawings convey Daphne's age-appropriate struggles when she is realistically confronted with her own behavior in considering Darla a "fake friend."
