Blue Strawberries: Vol. 2: Friendship Shifts

By: Gilmore, Chelsea Marie

Blue Marie Strawberry thought the hardest part of starting high school was over.

But when her close friend Maya returns from vacation, things don't feel quite the same. Maya has new friends, new stories, and suddenly Blue feels like she's trying to catch up to a version of their friendship that has already moved forward.

Instead of pretending everything is fine, Blue begins to face something many young people experience-friendships can change.

As Blue works through her feelings, she turns once again to her sketchbook, where her cosmic hero Indigo from Saturn explores shifting star paths and new directions through space. Indigo's journey helps Blue understand that change doesn't always mean losing someone. Sometimes it simply means making room for new connections.

With the help of new friends like Mali and Chelsea, Blue discovers that friendships don't always end-they evolve.

Blue Strawberries Vol. 2: Friendship Shifts is a thoughtful graphic novel about honesty, growth, and learning that sometimes the circle of friendship just gets bigger.
