"Making Friends is the Scott Pilgrim for the tweenage set, perfect for any younger readers' graphic novel collection."

"Gudsnuk's powers of imagination will make her plenty of friends."

"This charming graphic novel features full-color, manga-inspired illustrations and a breezy plot that blends wish fulfillment and fantasy with an approachable and contemporary storyline.

A nifty pastiche of middle school matters."
