Author/illustrator Amy Ignatow’s signature sense of humor is on full display in The Long-Distance Dispatch Between Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang as the best friends navigate their way through junior high school. Book two in the series that's the basis for the hit streaming show!
After spending all of fifth grade studying popularity together, Julie and Lydia are finally ready to put their hard-earned lessons to use in junior high. But before they can, disaster strikes: Lydia’s mom gets a job in London for six whole months! Before Lydia can say “Fancy a cup of tea?” she’s thrust into a new school, where she earns a reputation as “the Violent American.”
Meanwhile Julie’s stuck navigating the cliques of American junior high on her own and is adopted by a group of troublemaking eighth graders known as the Bichons. The two best friends will have to learn to keep in touch and stand on their own, assisted as always by their trusty notebook.
