I wanted to share a new children’s book with you The Best Friend Bracelet by Nicole D. Collier. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
The Best Friend Bracelet By Nicole D. Collier is a fun and fast-paced story about friendship and what a true friend is. Which at times I’m sure we’ve all questioned at least once. The Best Friend Bracelet is for upper-elementary school children like my nieces Lily and Payton who are 8 and 9.
The main characters are just beginning 7th grade and facing the fears associated with middle school but is still very much targeted at readers in grades 3-6. I laughed and at times even cried with this book. I can’t wait to share with it the girls in our Complex.
If your #Homeschooling your students this is a good book for teaching STEAM. As well as a Art Class because you could purchase bracelets for the students to make. If you know a girl having problems making friends this is a must-have gift for them.
About the book:
A tender, funny story about making–and keeping–friends, perfect for fans of Sarah Mlynowski.
At Hurston Middle School, best friendship is a big deal. And Zariah Brown makes the best best friendship bracelets in town. Business is booming; Zariah can hardly keep up with orders.
The problem is, Zariah doesn’t have a best friend of her own. As the entire seventh grade gears up for their big Pajama Jam weekend, it seems as if everyone else is paired up except her.
So Zariah pours her heart and soul into making the ultimate friendship bracelet, using a set of beads gifted to her by a mysterious woman. But the bracelet turns out to be a tiny bit . . . magical. In fact, anyone who puts it on instantly becomes Zariah’s best friend. Now all she has to do is find the perfect best friend and get the bracelet on them. Easy, right?
It turns out finding the ideal friend isn’t so simple, and things quickly spin out of control. Will Zariah ever find her true BFF, or is she destined to be alone forever?
