Bookroo's summary
Anna's excitement for the zoo trip fades as her best friends, Sadie and Isabel, clash over every choice. From tortoises to anteaters, each demands Anna's loyalty. With her dog Banana's help and family advice, Anna must navigate this friendship tug-of-war. Can she balance being a friend to both without losing herself?
From the publisher
Anna is lucky to have two best friends—it makes everything twice as fun. She’s excited to go with Sadie and Isabel on their class trip to the zoo.
But when Anna’s two best friends start choosing opposite sides on everything, Anna feels caught in the middle. Sadie wants Anna to see the spiny anteater with her, but Isabel wants to visit the tortoise instead. When Isabel pulls Anna toward the camel house, Sadie yanks her toward the giraffes. It’s like they’re playing a game of tug-of-war and Anna is the rope!
How can Anna keep the peace without causing double trouble?
