Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale and New York Times bestselling illustrator LeUyen Pham join forces in this graphic memoir about how hard it is to find your real friends―and why it's worth the journey.

When best friends are not forever . . .

Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others.

Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group―or out?

Perfect for fans of the Click series by Kayla Miller, the Nat Enough series by Maria Scrivan, and books by Raina Telgemeier, Real Friends delivers:

- an authentic, relatable look at childhood friendship struggles
- honest portrayals of anxiety, exclusion, and belonging
- expressive, accessible graphic novel storytelling
- and a powerful message about self-worth and identity
