I like this book that is how i feel when I am with my friends too
Hattie has only recently moved to Trepan Grove from New York this summer. Right away she made 3 new friends. Hattie hides part of herself, her cat t-shirts and love of fantasy books, so she can fit in. Everything seems to be great. Then school starts. After seeing popular girl Zooey being publicly de-popularized and humiliated, Hattie and her friends sign a friendship pact. But when Hattie unwillingly breaks the pact, her friends forget her. At first she thinks they are mad at her and are just ignoring her. But then she realizes it is part of the Harvest Festival curse, and they literally can't remember her. And everyday they forget again. How can Hattie break the curse? I think this book was an interesting twist on middle school popularity, and all the dramas with friendship and being true to yourself. I especially like how this book is clear in it's recurring theme against bullying. I recommend this book to elementary and middle grade girls. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Best friends for never is a book about three best friends who leave out one girl this book is such a good adventure can not wait to read it again
Hattie made a pact with her friends that no one would lie to each other and if they did they would forget about whoever lied but there was a myth that on the day that they made the pact you could be jinxed. Before Hattie realized she just lied none of her friends knew who she was and when she told them what happened it made it worse. To figure out how to stop the jinx Hattie had to find the part of the poem that said how to stop the jinx.
I like Best Friends for Never because it is written very realistically. This book also teaches a lesson about how friendship should be and how people should treat each other.
