The Pages Between Us: A Fun Journal About Friendship and Growing Up in Middle School for Children (Ages 8-12)

Middle grade favorites Lindsey Leavitt and Robin Mellom come together on this sweet journal-style book packed with fun, engaging art.

Told in letters, posters, blog posts, homework assignments, and more, The Pages Between Us is a totally fun snapshot of middle grade friendship―and what it truly means to be there for someone during the ups, downs, and everything in between.

Piper and Olivia have been best friends since…well, forever. But they're distressed to find that their new middle school schedules aren't giving them enough together-time. Luckily, an idea sparks when Piper finds a cute, sparkly notebook to disguise as her "French Class" homework. It's genius―now the two BFFs can stick together all the time. And document their adventures―you know, for anthropology's sake.

But as the two navigate the tricky new world of sixth grade, they realize that they may need to branch out more than they originally thought. Their notebook, once a life raft, begins to feel like a big responsibility. Can they grow up, without growing apart?
