There’s a new kid in Room 19. Wait, what? Her name’s Audrey, too?!
More than anything, Audrey L wants to be the best at something. It always feels like she’s not quite enough—not smart enough, not fast enough, not funny enough. When her beloved Ms. Fincastle announces that a new girl—another AUDREY—is joining the class, Audrey suddenly becomes
Audrey L, which makes her feel worse than ever. But what if the two Audreys have more in common than just their name? And how will Audrey L ever figure out how to be her best self if she can’t even be the best Audrey?
Over the course of a week in school, this bighearted, true-to-life chapter book will resonate with any young reader who’s ever felt overlooked, second best, or defined by an initial. The first in a series, Best Friends-ish provides a fresh take on the joys and traumas of elementary school drama.
