To celebrate the release of Kristen Gudsnuk’s new graphic novel Making Friends, our friends at Graphix Books took over Twitter yesterday with their #MakingFriendsTakeover!
To build excitement for Making Friends' release next Tuesday, July 31, they revealed a panel every hour on their Twitter account, and we rounded them up for you below.
Be sure to follow @GraphixBooks for more graphic novel fun and exclusive takeovers!
Today we’re diving into #MakingFriends, a new #graphicnovel by @henchgirl_comic! Follow #MakingFriendsTakeover to read a special excerpt from this story about how making friends can be hard…and magical (no, literally, there’s actual magic involved)! @Scholastic (1/9) pic.twitter.com/5e0FQneM2I

Luckily, there’s the bell! ‼ Note to self: ALWAYS keep an extra schedule on you just in case, because if you don’t you might end up late to class like Dany! #MakingFriendsTakeover @Scholastic @henchgirl_comic (5/9) pic.twitter.com/7FiynP5AKU

After a long day at school, there’s no better way to take your mind off things than by drawing your anime crush in a *mysterious* sketchbook you got from your great-aunt’s house. #MakingFriendsTakeover @Scholastic @henchgirl_comic (7/9) pic.twitter.com/EtdgV98fUk
