Summary
Dany creates a magical duplicate of herself to help with homework and making friends, but it gets complicated when they accidentally let loose a Hinn (sort of like a genie, only it doesn’t grant wishes!). And with the big school dance coming up, time is running out to set things right in the town. But when Dany’s high school bully, Nick Maloney, befriends the Hinn and shows up at the dance using its magical powers to control the evening, the only thing left to do is save the day! Sigh … Again.

Critics Review
“Gudsnuk’s bubbly, playful artwork, in a warm palette dominated by pink and purple and dense with detail and expressive, goggle-eyed faces, is a pleasure to look at.” – Booklist
Praise for Making Friends:
★ “Making Friends is the Scott Pilgrim for the tweenage set, perfect for any younger readers’ graphic novel collection.” – School Library Journal, starred review
“Gudsnuk’s powers of imagination will make her plenty of friends.” – Publishers Weekly
“This charming graphic novel features full-color, manga-inspired illustrations and a breezy plot that blends wish fulfillment and fantasy with an approachable and contemporary storyline. With a broad brush, Gudsnuk hits many of the angst-y issues of middle school, including popularity, bullying, family relationships, body image, and fandom, creating appeal for a large swath of readers… A nifty pastiche of middle school matters.” – Kirkus Reviews
