Fans of Amelia's Notebook and Judy Moody will love this friendship story bursting with doodles and pictures

Bea Garcia is an artist. She draws anywhere and everywhere-but mostly in her own notebook. When Bea's first and only best friend Yvonne moves to Australia, not even drawing makes Bea feel better. And things only get worse when a loud, rambunctious boy moves in next door. He's nothing at all like Yvonne! But with a little imagination and a whole lot of doodles, Bea Garcia might just make a new friend.

This first book in a brand-new chapter book series is a must-read for doodlers everywhere.
