Hanzade Servi & Ali Benice
Welcome to the wild and witty world of Sue Bella Laughsalot—a girl with big questions, big ideas, and even bigger laughs!
Sue Bella Laughsalot is not your average fifth grader—she’s a diary-writing, clown-nose-wearing, unicorn-pencil-case-carrying force of nature. When her teacher assigns a class project—Who is the most interesting person in your family?—Sue stumbles upon her great-grandmother: a mysterious woman who hates visitors, lives with cows, and knits sweaters for her sheep. Naturally.
Told through Sue’s energetic voice and brought to life with dynamic design and expressive illustrations, this book captures the chaos, curiosity, and comedy of growing up. Whether she’s navigating school friendships or dreaming up new inventions, Sue is never boring—and always completely herself.
Full of laugh-out-loud moments and real emotional truths, The Laughsalot Diaries 1 – Are We Friends? launches a smart, snappy trilogy about friendship, feelings, and figuring out who you are.
KEY NOTES:
– Told in diary format with bold visual humor and quirky narration, the book offers a page turner for reluctant readers.
– The first title of a three-book series, this volume explores how kids experience emotions like doubt, jealousy, and identity in their own colorful way.
