Friendship Survival Guide

LoveReading4Kids Says

Friends are just as important to young people as their parents so it’s well worth making sure they know how to make good friends and understand what being a good friend means.

This book is full of useful advice, presented in an accessible and reassuring way, to steer them through the ups and downs of different friendships. For young people who struggle with shyness or anxiety, there’s a whole chapter on how to make friends, full of useful, practical advice and tips, while the chapter on social media will help even the most confident and outgoing manage their online life.

Equally helpful will be the chapters on friendship break ups and the one on fake friends. The tone and approach is just right for readers aged 11 and up, calm, matter-of-fact and, naturally, friendly.
