Kayla Miller, a New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, takes a nuanced look at middle school friendships and the need for empathy and respect. Olive makes an effort to make friends with Nat, but it appears that the only thing they have in common is a desire to hang out with Olive’s buddies! Olive can’t help but worry that as Natasha becomes closer with some of her best friends, they’re starting to like Nat more than they do here… and who could blame them? Nat is just that awesome… and Olive is simply Olive. Olive, like everyone else, wants to be her friend but things aren’t going to be simple. There’s a newcomer on the block!
