Synopsis

Moonbeam Children's Book Award for Juvenile Fiction (Bronze)

Mom's Choice Award for Juvenile Self Improvement (Silver)

amp ldquo Good things come in threes, amp rdquo my mom always says, when Kate, Bella, and I walk in the door, and mostly
it amp rsquo s true.

Three friends can play most board games, jump rope together, invent a club, play hide-and-go-seek, form
a circle, have laughing fits, and do a really good dance routine.

But three doesn amp rsquo t always feel so fun. When there are three friends, somewhere, sometime, somehow
someone will get left out.

Good things come in threes. That's how best friends Lindsey, Bella, and Kate usually feel. But sometimes three doesn't always feel so fun amp hellip

• Three means if the teacher says to pick partners, it's a race to see who can catch eyes first.
• Three means if you can ask only one friend to spend the night, you're forced to make a hard choice.
• Three means if you have a fight, one of you is stuck in the middle.

Lindsey, Bella, and Kate stumble over these and other common friendship dilemmas, making amends, finding solutions, expanding their circle, and becoming even better friends than before.

Includes amp quot Girl Talk amp quot discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
