Debbie and Maureen have been friends since third grade. But now Maureen is friends with Glenna, so that makes Debbie, well, all alone in the universe to be exact. Lynne Rae Perkins’s slim novel doesn’t offer up any pat (or easy) answers to the question, What do you do when you get dumped by your best friend? But it does offer one of the most honest and relatable explorations of surviving middle school cattiness and of living through the bad (and good) parts of growing apart and growing up.
Genre: Fiction (Middle School/YA)
Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 5
You’ll like this book if: You’ve ever been dumped by a friend; you like books filled with wisdom and beauty, and happy (but not contrived) endings.
You won’t like this book if: You crave books with a lot of plot.
