30 Days to Finding and Keeping Sassy Sidekicks and BFFs Clea Hantman Trade Paperback | Delacorte Books for Young Readers | 978-0-385-73623-7 | April 2009 | $7.99 | Ages 12 Up

In a fast-paced, technology-driven world where MySpace and Facebook ask the question ‘will you be my friend?’ and ‘what constitutes a friend?’ a true buddy is hard to come by, and sometimes a girl needs at least one BFF (Best Friend Forever). When television shows glorify other girls as the backstabbing enemy, it may be good TV, but by and large the support of a girlfriend is a bond that lasts a lifetime. A rotten friend can be a time and energy waster, which is why you need to be informed of the bad apples and the good. This handy guide will lead you to finding and keeping your BFF.
Just remember: "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold."
