I Lost My BFF
by Jennifer Licate
Illustrated by Suzanne Beaky
Sometimes, best friends forever isn’t FOREVER.
Sophia and Camila are besties. They talk every day, laugh at the same jokes and share the same Hollywood dreams. They are inseparable!
So imagine Sophia's surprise when Camila starts spending more time with Christabel. Sophia is heartbroken and she starts to wonder if she is losing her BFF. Sophia becomes jealous and confused because Camila is supposed to have her back, and now she is betraying their friendship. Or is she? What's wrong with making new friends? Couldn't Sophia make new friends, too?
Through honest conversations and open-mindedness, Sophia, Camila, Christabel, and Jewel soon learn that it's okay for friends to have other good friends, and not everyone needs to like to do the same things all of the time. If they are kind and respectful toward one another, their friendships can grow and change.

“I ordered the entire set (3) of books by Jennifer Licate. As a NBCT Special Education teacher, I am always on the lookout for materials that are paced well and resonate with my students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This series did exactly that! We are always looking for materials to work with in our Social Skills group. The students were engaged during the lesson and more importantly, seem to be applying the skills taught in real world situations. I Lost my BFF taught my students that it’s normal for friendships to change and encouraged them to find friends who value them. The issues that this book covered are ones that my students have dealt with in past relationships and with which they will continue to struggle. It is my hope, that with the help of these books, they will have the skills to deal with these social situations. Bravo, to the author of these books!!” - Lindsay, Verified Purchaser
“This was a cute and educational story for all young children on how friendships work. Also showing how to communicate with your friends and parents was shown very well. I enjoyed reading this!!” - Danielle, Goodreads
