My friend Amy - Anna McQuinn

Monifa tells us all about the things she and her friend Amy like to do - growing up together, they have lots in common. When Monifa visits Amy's home, however, she discovers that families that come from different places also do some things differently. This book presents a believable friendship between two girls from different backgrounds without being preachy or 'worthy'. It is set in modern, multicultural Britain, the information is both relevant and interesting to young readers and the brilliant funky art work gives the story a modern and fun feel. This is the second book in a new series called 'My Friend'.
