Dear Friends by Lisa Greenwald

5.0

"Dear Friends" audiobook by Lisa Greenwald, is a middle school coming-of-age book about friendship. It is a beautiful story that preteen girls will love. The story is sweet and relatable. The author beautifully includes life lessons that can be applied to everyday experiences.

Eleni and Sylvie, have been best friends since they were babies. They share many memories of good times together. Eleni helps Svlvie plan her 12th birthday party. Finally the big day arrives and Eleni is so excited for Sylvie. True to the girls plans, the party is held in Sylvie's backyard complete with tents that are so much fun for the outdoor movie night the girls dreamed of. There is a huge movie screen, theater popcorn, balloons, fizzy lemonade, pizza, cake, and Taylor Swift music. It's absolutely perfect until Eleni discovers that 3 of the girls are spending the night with Sylvie and Eleni was not invited. W-H-A-T? Why would Sylvie exclude her best friend? Eleni is beyond devastated and begins her journey to learn what true friendship is all about.

"Dear Friends" audiobook will be published May 10th.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Audio, for allowing me to review this audiobook. It's the ideal audiobook to share with preteen girls.
