About this ebook
This is war. Okay--that's too dramatic.
But no matter what this is called, so far I'm winning.
And it feels wonderful.
Grace and Ellie have been best friends since second grade. Ellie's always right in the center of everything--and Grace is usually happy to be Ellie's sidekick. But what happens when everything changes? This time it's Grace who suddenly has everyone's attention when she accidentally starts a new fad at school. It's a fad that has first her class, then her grade, and then the entire school collecting and trading and even fighting over . . . buttons?! A fad that might also get her in major trouble and could even be the end of Grace and Ellie's friendship. Because Ellie's not used to being one-upped by anybody. There's only one thing for Grace to do. With the help of Hank--the biggest button collector in the sixth grade--she will have to figure out a way to end the fad once and for all. But once a fad starts, can it be stopped?
Andrew Clements, the beloved author of Frindle, returns with a deliciously entertaining and deeply satisfying story that will resonate with anyone who's ever been in a classroom . . . or been a kid. A fad is a tough thing to kill, but then again, so is a friendship.
"On-point."--Publishers Weekly
"A girl accidentally starts a school fad, causing a rift with her best friend, in this latest novel from
Clements. The funny, science-loving Grace is an endearing narrator--just the right person to document the strange but creative ways her classmates' button obsession flourishes. A fun, charming story about fads and the friendships that
outlast them."--Booklist
Praise for Andrew Clements!
"Clements is a genius." --The New York Times
"We have never read an Andrew Clements book that we haven't loved." --The Washington Post

Reviews for The Friendship War
16 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thanks to the author, publisher, and Edelweiss for the DRC. This was a wonderful depiction of friendship and acceptance. Friendships can be hard to navigate, but Grace figures out, the hard way, that unconditional love and acceptance are a big part of truly being a friend. I only hope that this book reveals what a true friend should be to those young readers who pick it up. Very glad this will be on shelves soon. Never disappointed by this author!
