Anna, Banana, and the Friendship Split by Anica Mrose Rissi

5.0

This is a really sweet read, an early chapter book that still has depth to the story. Anna's in a situation that many kids can probably identify with: her best friend is being kind of mean to her and they get in a fight and suddenly they're not best friends anymore. Anna's mad at Sadie for what she's done, but she's also being a little mean herself, and she really misses her best friend. Especially for such a short book, I think Anica Mrose Rissi does a great job of showing the characters rather than telling about them. It's also a nice blend of serious and funny.

It reminds me of the Johanna Hurwitz friendship stories I used to love as a little girl, but (of course) with a contemporary setting.
