Charise Mericle Harper: WRONG FRIEND

Sun, January 25 from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm PST

Join the Literary Arts Bookstore for a very special event with Charise Mericle Harper for the release of her latest graphic novel, Wrong Friend!

About the book:

What happens when your BFF is no longer forever?

A fresh and honest graphic novel about friendships lost and found.

Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier!

Charise and Casey have been best friends for years. It never mattered that Casey was older by two years—until she started high school. Now, the two barely talk, and Charise is on a mission to get a new best friend. But can she find that perfect person while navigating long-distance friendships, guinea pig allergies, and the embarrassing quirks of her family?
