This was such a sweet read! I think girls and boy's will love this book and even relate to Anna's and Sadie's friendship fallout. I am looking forward to reading the next book!

A wonderfully sensitive chapter book about what happens when a friendship turns sour and the importance of standing up for oneself. The writer excels at creating tension, and as a people-pleasing child (and adult TBH), this story made me so anxious for Anna.
Great resolution and I’m excited to read more in the series. Would recommend.

Great book for students who are ready for some longer chapter books, but need to be mindful of content.
Anna and Sadie have been friends since, well, forever, but there quickly seems to be an argument between them. In my opinion, Sadie is not an example of being a good friend. I love that Anna learns to grow a "backbone" to deal with it, but does so in a very nice manner.
Great book for students in 1st-3rd grades.

This is a really sweet read, an early chapter book that still has depth to the story. Anna's in a situation that many kids can probably identify with: her best friend is being kind of mean to her and they get in a fight and suddenly they're not best friends anymore. Anna's mad at Sadie for what she's done, but she's also being a little mean herself, and she really misses her best friend. Especially for such a short book, I think Anica Mrose Rissi does a great job of showing the characters rather than telling about them. It's also a nice blend of serious and funny.
It reminds me of the Johanna Hurwitz friendship stories I used to love as a little girl, but (of course) with a contemporary setting.

De følelser børn går igennem, når de bliver uvenner er her beskrevet og forklaret på en utrolig flot måde. Frustrationen gør at begge siger noget i vrede, de fortryder. Vi følger Annas tanker, om hvad der er rigtigt og forkert; både ved det, der gør dem uvenner og hvordan hun senere agere far give Sadie igen. De store temaer i denne bog er venskab, ønsker, håb, fortrydelse, vrede, tilgivelse, frustration mm. Det vigtigste af alt, er at selvom at Sadie begynder at drille og hviske om Anna, savner Anna stadig sin ven og savner det de havde. Sproget og ordvalget er utrolig nøje valgt og jeg fandt mig selv fuldstændig opslugt af det dilemma, Anna står overfor.

Perfect for your early reader who is just starting to form more serious friendships. Anica knows how to use big words without being overwhelming, this book can be used as a teaching tool or just for fun!

What I liked about this book is that I feel like it approached elementary school friend-drama more honestly than a lot of its peers. Anna and her best friend get into a fight when Sadie steals Anna's brand-new birthday necklace, and when Anna decides to stand up to Sadie, she's so harsh Sadie cries. The book shows that it takes work to stay friends, and things may not be perfect. A good teaching moment.
