Using the name and format of the Claudia Cristina Cortez fiction stories, this title gives advice to middle school students on dealing with the ups and downs of making and keeping friends. There are chapters on what it means to be a friend, how to tell friends from acquaintances, and keeping secrets. There are also suggestions on how to make friends, how to disagree without destroying the friendship, and dealing with those who aren╒t friends.
It is written in the typical Claudia Cristina Cortez style of witty comments and text in a variety of styles for emphasis and sketch drawings. The tone is kept light but it is packed with helpful advise including warnings about online friendship safety. This self-help title will attract middle school girls who might be turned-off by the classic style self-help book. Theal, Joan
