Friendship drama doesn't start loud. It starts small.
When Avery feels left out, she says she doesn't care. But hurt has a way of sneaking out sideways.
Whispers turn into tension.
Tension turns into storms.
And before she knows it, she's stuck in a loop she didn't mean to start.
In this honest and relatable story for ages 8-11, Avery learns how small sparks grow into big conflicts - and how brave words can break the cycle.
Perfect for:
- Upper elementary classrooms
- School counseling lessons
- Small groups and book clubs
- Parents navigating friendship drama
Includes a ready-to-use discussion guide for classrooms and families.
Because storms feel big... but most of them start small.
