Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
B·E·S·T Friends Are for Keeps
Karen Sullivan Williams · 1993
69/100
👍 Worth It
A 90-page tween chapter book from the Seventh-day Adventist press: Tiffany starts eighth grade at a Christian school caught between two best friends who can't stand each other — a premise every middle-schooler recognizes. Three Goodreads ratings in thirty years, but the whole book is freely readable on the Internet Archive, which changes the math: for a faith-centered tween drama at the price of free, worth it.
