Craftily Ever After #1: The Un-Friendship Bracelet

Emily Adams, Maddie Wilson, Bella Diaz, and Sam Sharma are eight-year-olds with one special thing in common: they love to create. They each have unique talents, too! Emily is great at constructing and building; Maddie has an eye for fashion, fabrics, and sewing; Bella is a gadget whiz; and Sam is a gifted artist. Together, these four crafty friends dream up new projects to design, build, and create—and, through their experiences, they'll learn how to handle various obstacles at school and in their everyday eight-year-old lives.

In the first Craftily Ever After book, best friends Emily and Maddie are so close that they spend most of their free time together and wear matching friendship bracelets, too! One day, a new student named Bella Diaz shows up at Mason Creek Elementary. Maddie immediately befriends her, discovering that she, too, is really crafty. As Maddie and Bella spend more time together, Emily finds herself spending more time alone—until she realizes that the boy who's been sitting next to her in class this whole time loves to draw and create, just like she does. When Emily's friendship bracelet falls off and Maddie doesn't even notice, Emily begins to think that maybe it was an un-friendship bracelet, after all.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Craftily Ever After chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
