Synopsis
The Friendship Matchmaker follows the story of Lara Zany, Friendship Matchmaker. Lara spends all of her time helping other children at her school make and keep friends and is writing a manual all about it, but when a new girl comes to school, everything starts to unravel. As Lara embarks on a competition to find a best friend for the most ‘difficult’ client ever, she comes to see the true value and importance of friendship. Randa Abdel-Fattah narrates Lara’s journey with compassion, warmth and a great deal of humour and the reader is immediately transported into the world of her characters.
The Friendship Matchmaker addresses the serious issue of bullying in such a way that it would provide a great resource for schools and parents in approaching this issue with their children. This is the first junior novel from an author who has previously been viewed as young adult, and hopefully it will inspire its readers to seek out her other novels as they grow into them. This would be a great addition to any public or school library and will be an easy book for retailers to promote. Great writing, topical content and a big dose of humour will make this book one of the successes of 2011.
