Some friendships change shape without ending. Jonah and Eli have been best friends since kindergarten: eleven-step handshake, Friday game nights and a notebook full of space-detective comics. Then Eli makes the travel basketball team. Now there's a new lunch table, new jokes, and a Friday photo Jonah isn't in. Can a friendship change shape without ending? A story about friendship and handling change. Ages 10-13, Grades 5-8.

What Parents Say
Families sharing their experiences with our books and family safety tools.
After reading this, my daughter started asking about how lighthouses work and we ended up looking up videos together. Anything that gets her that curious is a win in my book.
The rhythm of this book is so soothing. It's become our Sunday-morning read. The river metaphor opened up a real conversation about listening to nature with my kids.
A beautiful, quiet story. On high-energy days my 6-year-old can't sit through it, but on calm evenings it's perfect. The language is genuinely lovely.
