From the publisher

A fun story about friendship and inclusion for children aged 4 and above, told from the point of view of Clara, a little girl worried about losing her best friend to the new girl in school.

Annabelle and I were inseparable. We were best friends and we did everything together.

That is, until the horrible, terrible day when the new girl arrived. Now she is Annabelle’s best friend, and I’m the odd one out. If you ask me, two is better than three… but no one’s asking me.
