I should have known that this book would be just as amazing as all of Shannon’s other books. This one is a memoir, it’s little Shannon growing up to be the awesome author she is today. But she had stumbles, and troubles with friends. I like that this book is titled Real Friends, because I think it illustrates the various types of friendships someone can have. It tells you it’s okay to not belong to the “group” and that sometimes people are nice in front of others, but mean when you are not around. The illustrations are fitting, and fun. Overall a good book to add to your collection.
