New grade. New friends. New worries? Introducing an irresistibly honest, relatable graphic novel about friendship, anxiety, and growing up--just right for fans of Real Friends and Guts! Katie knows there’s stuff that makes her different. She’s homeschooled, she has freckles, and her teeth are really crooked. But none of these things matter to Kacey. They’re best friends forever—just like their necklaces say. But when they go to summer camp, Kacey starts acting weird. What happened to the “forever”? And when Katie gets home, she can’t stop worrying. About getting braces. About 6th grade. About friends. She knows tapping three times or opening and closing a drawer won’t make everything better . . . but sometimes it helps stop the worrying. Is something wrong with her? And will anyone want to be friends with her if they find out?

The friendships in this book brought back some middle school memories! 😬 I really enjoyed and appreciated the OCD rep. This fills a void in kids books and I‘m glad it exists!

This story stood out to me because there were many students in my class last year struggling with the idea of growing up and losing friends and making others.

Growing Pangs, published in 2022 was one of my favorite graphic novels by far. This story went into the strengths and struggles with friendship and growing up. It was so easy to relate to and the perfect story for children having troubles growing up.
