Making Friends: A Graphic Novel (Making Friends #1) by Kristen Gudsnuk follows Danielle (“Dany”), who begins seventh grade feeling lost in the shuffle of new classes, changing friendships, and the pressure to fit in. Everything changes when she inherits a magical sketchbook from her great-aunt—a notebook where anything she draws comes to life. With it, she creates Madison, the perfect best friend. But as Madison starts to develop her own identity, Dany learns that real friendship is more complicated than just creating someone who seems perfect, and that honesty and acceptance are what truly matter.
