Publisher Description
Fans of Amelia’s Notebook and Judy Moody will love this friendship story bursting with doodles and pictures
Bea Garcia is an artist. She draws anywhere and everywhere—but mostly in her own notebook. When Bea’s first and only best friend Yvonne moves to Australia, not even drawing makes Bea feel better. And things only get worse when a loud, rambunctious boy moves in next door. He’s nothing at all like Yvonne! But with a little imagination and a whole lot of doodles, Bea Garcia might just make a new friend.
This first book in a brand-new chapter book series is a must-read for doodlers everywhere.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"I feel rotten!" That's a recurring refrain for Beatrice Garcia Holmes, especially now that her best friend Yvonne has left for Australia and a "monster" of a kid named Bert has moved in next door. Bea shares her travails in a journal-style narrative filled with b&w illustrations Bea is a talented artist, though it can cause trouble, as when she draws on the family's TV ("I think Wendy the Weather Woman looks good with a mustache"). Zemke resists solving Bea's problems too neatly at book's end, Bert is still annoying, and Yvonne is still in Australia yet she clearly shows how art, self-expression, and humor can be solid allies when life doesn't go as planned. Ages 6 8.
