Description

Sophia and Camila have been the best of friends for a long time now – since first grade! They do EVERYTHING together. They like the same things, and they always have fun!

So imagine Sophia’s surprise when Camila starts spending more time with Christabel, and it’s interfering with Sophia and Camila’s time together. All of this change is hard, and Sophia finds herself wondering why. Does this mean Sophia did something wrong? Does it mean Camila likes Christabel better? Sophia finds herself thinking… I Lost My BFF.

Through honest conversations and open-mindedness, Sophia, Camila, Christabel and Asha soon learn that it’s okay for friends to have other good friends, and not everyone needs to like to do the same things all of the time. If they are kind and respectful toward one another, their friendships can grow and change.

My review- 4 out of 5 stars

I think we all have had that one BFF who suddenly stopped hanging out with us. This book discusses the emotions a girl feels when her best friend forever simply starts hanging out with an another friend. It also provides a solution and a new approach towards friendship.

Sophia is sad because Camila, her BFF, is being distant with her. She's got a new friend and is hanging out with her often. Sophia finds herself alone, rejected and jealous. She does want to lose her BFF. She tries joining Camila and her new friend but they don't seem interested in her. This continues until Sophia can't take it anymore. She talks to her mom who advices her to communicate and express how she feels. But Camila is unaffected by knowing how Sophia is feeling. That makes her frustrated. Her mom further advices her to befriend other girls in her school. Mom explains her that friendship can't be forced, if Camila wants to have two BFF's she can. That Sophia should accept that while growing up we make many friends and not all stay. Amazing story with lovely illustrations and a wonderful message! Thank you Netgalley so much for the copy!

Thalia and Ben are his partners in the work. Thalia is that girl who does a lot of makeup and Ben is the funny guy. I did find him funny, I mean his jokes.

As Tommy moves along the school he finds and hears strange sounds which no one else hears. But things turns worst when Tommy and Ben enter an old lift in the old school building.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy ALL "Goosebumps" Book, I thought I should mention that.
This book is super scary and you can't guess what happens next. I read this in a single sitting in about a few hours.
A true page turner!
The ending is unexpected and amazing! I just loved it. I bought the paperback from Amazon and its pretty cool.

You should find out for yourself if the school is haunted or... more than haunted.
