Review

"In Real Friends, Shannon Hale reflects on her own friendship-troubled elementary school years with honesty, humor and grace . . . Her readers will find much to love here, including LeUyen Pham's brilliant and multilayered art . . . These detailed memories of elementary school will ring hilariously true to adult readers . . . At the same time, stories of whispered rumors and being left out will be achingly familiar for readers navigating those waters in the here and now." --author Kate Messner, writing in the New York Times Book Review

"The book's truth is as vibrant as its art." --Washington Post

"A heart-stabbing tale of the everyday social agonies of girlhood." --Wall Street Journal

"Real Friends tackles bullying, childhood anxiety, and growing pains in a heartfelt way that'll transport every woman who went to elementary school back into her days as a young girl . . . but the book also shows us the incredible kindness and solidarity that girls can and do display." --The Mary Sue

书中的主人公Shannon是个乖巧、单纯的小姑娘，同时也有着害羞、慢热、缺乏安全感等性格特点。一年级时，孩子们大都幼稚单纯，Shannon也享受其中，学校的生活给她带来了好朋有Adrienne，非常亲密。随着年龄的增长，孩子们的心智成熟度开始慢慢地不一样了，成熟快的孩子们开始有了团队意识，喜欢在自己组织的小集体里展现自我。在这样的情况下，Adrienne也追随着其他孩子加入了The Group。对于缺乏安全感的Shannon来说，朋友的“移情别恋”让她失落不已。为了能和Adrienne在一起，她也加入了组织。但事情比不想Shannon想像的那样，The Group的成员时常嘲笑她幼稚，不喜欢她。这让她受到了很大的打击，要知道，被孤立的滋味是不好受的。可怜的Shannon该怎么办呢？要知道学校的生活也不是一成不变的，在接下来的生活中，真诚、朴实的Shannon又认识了新的朋友Zara和Veronica。Zara和Veronica的大方、友善让Shannon再一次感受到了友谊的甜蜜。同时，两位好朋友的自信与宽容也感染。
