Making Friends: Together Forever: A Graphic Novel (Making Friends #4)
Author(s): Kristen Gudsnuk
No magic. No sketchbook. No friends. Again?
It's hard to go back to "normal" when so much has changed. Dany's back to being a loner, but her mom is an alien imposter, and her best friend, Madison, is starring in the hit TV show My Magical Best Friend, with none other than Prince Neptune himself! The show is clearly based on Dany's life, and she watches it regularly with a mix of horror and fascination. But lately there's something else about the show that's captured her attention: Madison seems to be dropping hints for Dany to come rescue her. With no magical sketchbook at her fingertips, can Dany round up the few buddies she has left and save her best friend?
