From the publisher

Lara’s friendship matchmaking days are over now that she has an Official Best Friend (OBF) in Tanya. But when when a new boy named Majur transfers to their grade and outplays Chris Martin, the school bully, on the soccer field, Chris’s rule is suddenly over. Now alone and unable to make friends on his own, Chris turns to Lara Zany who can’t resist the challenge. Finding Chris a friend isn’t her only challenge-Lara must balance her new friendship with Tany and Emily, plus make sure Majur, a refugee from Sudan, fits in. Lara Zany has her work cut out for her in this charming sequel about finding true friends despite big differences.
