In Chinese, peng you means friend. But in any language, all Anna knows for certain is that friendship is complicated.

When Anna needs company, she turns to her books. Whether traveling through A Wrinkle in Time, or peering over My Side of the Mountain, books provide what real life cannot—constant companionship and insight into her changing world.

Books, however, cant tell Anna how to find a true friend. Shell have to discover that on her own. In the tradition of classics like Maud Hart Lovelaces Betsy-Tacy books and Eleanor Estes One Hundred Dresses, this novel subtly explores what it takes to make friends and what it means to be one.
