Ten-year-old Amanda Green loves drawing in her sketchbook-a private haven filled with her most precious dreams and shades of purple. Only her cat, Simeon, and her best friend, Lily, have seen its pages. But when Lily moves away, Amanda faces the challenge of befriending Alex, the new neighbor whose unpredictable moods and sharp comments keep Amanda guessing. Unsure if she can trust her, Amanda wonders if sharing her art might spark a true connection-or leave her feeling more alone than ever. Perfect for fans of Wish by Barbara O'Connor and Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, this heartfelt middle-grade novel explores the courage it takes to be yourself.
