Xanthia's New BFF Helena — Louise Stevens

A seven-year-old girl, with nothing particularly interesting about her, moves into a new house, in a new town, and goes to a new school. Xanthia experiences all the problems and traumas that come along with starting a new life with people who don't care to know anything about her: bullying, feeling left out, and having to find strength to be on her own. But Xanthia is already strong without realising it. Not afraid of her feelings, she shares her problems with her mother who offers her a simple solution which, for Xanthia, is the answer to everything. Her newfound interest makes Xanthia feel so good, that all the taunts and jeers from the other children do not matter. She has found a part of herself that makes her heart sing, but best of all, she finds something else she could never have imagined, a new BFF â€" Best Friend Forever.
