About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the shifting sands of elementary school friendships, particularly when a duo is being challenged by the introduction of a third friend. It is a gentle, relatable resource for children who are experiencing the sting of jealousy or the fear of being replaced when seating charts change or new playmates enter the picture. In this second installment of the series, Audrey L finds her sense of security shaken when she is seated across the room from her best friend, Audrey W. To make matters worse, a classmate named Bettina seems to be everywhere, encroaching on their private treehouse and their talent show act. Through funny and heartwarming situations, the story explores how to manage big feelings like envy and how to expand one's circle without losing the special bond of a best friend. It is perfectly pitched for beginning readers transitioning into longer chapter books, offering reassurance that classroom drama can be navigated with empathy and communication.
