Ana and Harwin’s friendship has been off the charts since day one! But when Harwin learns her family is moving, the two aren't sure how their friendship can survive. In this imaginative story by New York Times graphics contributor Lalena Fisher, Ana explores her feelings with colorful hand-drawn maps, diagrams, graphs, and charts! From how to make fairy tea to the neurodiverse friends’ world-exploration plans, every page is filled with delicious details to pore over and giggle at. And in the back of the book are suggestions for readers to create their own charts!
