Forced to Be Friends in the Becoming Besties Series

A feel-good realistic fiction chapter book for grades 3 – 5 about a forced proximity friendship!

Elsa’s world is turned upside down when her parents tell her the family is moving from Oregon to Florida to be closer to her grandmother. Everything in Florida feels strange and uncomfortable, and things go from bad to worse when Mom pushes Elsa to make friends with Makena. The two girls don’t have much in common, and neither of them seem interested in being friends. Will the girls ever connect? Or is this forced-proximity friendship doomed to fail?

The Becoming Besties series from Capstone features:

  • A fresh, middle-grade take on the popular romance genre, with stories that instead celebrate the love between friends.
  • Friendship-themed activities like quizzes, crafts, and more.
  • A diverse range of characters and authors writing under a single pen name, Kahlia Jane.
