# Friends Forever - Hardcover

by **Shannon Hale** (Author), **Leuyen Pham** (Illustrator)

**Following up their mega-bestselling _Real Friends_ and _Best Friends_ graphic memoirs, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham are back with _Friends Forever_, a story about learning to love yourself exactly as you are.**

Shannon is in eighth grade, and life is more complicated than ever. Everything keeps changing, her classmates are starting to date each other (but nobody wants to date her ), and no matter how hard she tries, Shannon can never seem to _just be happy_.

As she works through her insecurities and undiagnosed depression, she worries about disappointing all the people who care about her. Is something wrong with her? Can she be the person everyone expects her to be? And who does she actually _want_ to be?

With their signature humor, warmth, and insight, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham have crafted another incredible love letter to their younger selves and to readers everywhere, a reminder to us all that we are enough.
