Our August 2023 Ages 11+ Book of the Month

Our Book of the Month for age 11+ is the third instalment in Kristen Gudsnuk’s brilliant graphic novel series, Making Friends: Third Time’s the Charm. Dany’s magic sketchbook is at it again, but this time it’s not Dany’s doing! Dany and Madison are living a new reality. Rather than best friends the pair now believe they’re twins! And that isn’t the only part of their lives that has been completely rewritten – their mom is a novelist, their dad is a rockstar, and Dany has suddenly become a diligent student… Things aren’t adding up. Can they put things back the way they were or is this magic beyond their control?

From the creator of the acclaimed Henchgirl comic series, Making Friends is a magical adventure series about school, friendships, and being true to yourself. Full of hilarious and heart-warming full-colour illustrations, it is the perfect book to engage with reluctant readers. This is a stunning and imaginative graphic novel, perfect for fans of Heartstopper, Ann M. Martin and Raina Telgemeier.
