From the publisher
Arthur and Buster are as close as two best friends can be. They do just about everything together. But one day Buster doesn’t show up at Arthur’s house to watch The Bionic Bunny Show, misses a meeting about their science project, and explains he’s been spending time with his new, really cool friend Mike. Arthur feels hurt, but Buster doesn’t seem to notice. Can Arthur and Buster work it out, or will they lose their friendship forever?
