Best Friends Playbook - Paperback

by A. W. Downer (Author)

This lower middle grade contemporary shows how to be friends with people very different than you, and still stay true to yourself.

What do touchdowns and tea parties have in common? Absolutely nothing.

Eleven-year-old football superfan, Hannah Taylor, has watched her friends leave the homeschool group one by one. It was okay, at first, because she always had Beth, her best best friend. They were a team for science experiments, for co-op classes, and on the football field.

But just as they're starting sixth grade, Beth's parents put her in private school. Now Hannah is the only middle schooler left in the homeschool group.

She'd better come up with a new play fast. The only kids even remotely close to her age don't like football, and they don't play sports. They play princess. And they want Hannah to join their team.
