About The Book

The companion to Here’s to You, Rachel Robinson now has a new look perfect for middle grade readers!

From the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret comes a pitch-perfect look at complicated families, shifting friendships, and the chaos of growing up—told with the honesty and heart only Judy Blume can bring.

Can you have more than one best friend?

Stephanie and Rachel have been inseparable since forever. But when Alison moves in next door, everything changes. Alison is cool, grounded, and way more normal than you’d expect from someone whose mom is a famous actress. So it’s no surprise when Stephanie clicks with her instantly and dreams of forming the perfect trio.

Except the harder she tries to bring her two worlds together, the more Rachel drifts away. Now Stephanie’s caught in the middle, wondering whether friendships can stretch to make room for someone new…or if adding one person means losing another.
