Three Friends

About the Book

Three classmates- Joshua, a chess prodigy, Karen, a feminist, and Lori, a sensitive artist- start an unusual friendship, forming a clique of their own. Other kids may think they’re weird, their parents may not understand them, but they have each other. It’s movies and pizzas and dances until their perfect trio is nearly shattered by the crosscurrents of love and jealousy, of self doubt and deep pain.

“A good story, well told.”—School Library Journal

“Interesting and well-defined characters, believable and vivid.”—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
