    About Friendship Over

    Being ten is hard. Just ask Celie—who is juggling fights with her sister, secrets at school, a forgetful grandmother, and a best friend who won’t speak to her. How can a girl who doesn’t like change survive when everything around her is changing? By writing, of course. Girls will recognize their own struggles as they join Celie who lets it all out in her top-secret diary.

    About Friendship Over

    Meet Celie Valentine, a tween dealing with a lot of changes in her life! Ten-year-old Celie has quite a few things on her mind—fights with her sister Jo, secrets at school, an increasingly forgetful grandmother, and worst of all, a best friend who won’t speak to her. How can a girl who hates change survive, when everything in her life is changing? By writing in her top-secret diary, of course.

    Being ten is hard. Just ask Celie, who is at this moment:
     
    ·      Feuding with her best friend Lula (does she count as a best friend if she won’t even talk to Celie?)
    ·      Keeping secrets (from everyone)
    ·      Spying on her parents (and maybe reading emails that don’t belong to her)
    ·      Trying to figure out why her Granny is behaving so strangely (like freezing her trash)
    ·      Maybe—just maybe—stopping mean girls from ruling the day (well, at least one super-mean girl)
     
    Celie’s often comical and always heartfelt diary entries include notes, e-mails, homework assignments, and pages from her top-secret spy notebook. Here is the perfect tween series for young readers ages 8 – 12!
