About Real Friends vs the Other Kind

Middle School Confidential 2: Real Friends vs. the Other Kind

"Excellent and well written with a lot of valuable content... definitely worth checking out."—Crazy Mike's Apps

Middle school social drama can flare up without warning and turn your world upside down. At times like this, you may wonder, “Who are my real friends?” Based on the second book in the award-winning Middle School Confidential™ series, Real Friends vs. the Other Kind follows Jack, Jen, Chris, Abby, Mateo, and Michelle from the first app as they forge friendships and navigate tough social situations. They run into relationship issues such as making friends, resolving disputes, and dealing with gossip, exclusion, and cyberbullying.

Written by teen expert and anti-bullying activist Annie Fox, illustrated by Matt Kindt, and published by Free Spirit Publishing, this graphic novel app enables readers to zoom right into the story world. The app puts decision-making power into the hands of readers, with interactive quizzes that test what a real friend would do in a given situation. With beautiful full-color illustrations and richly layered audio made up of movie-like sound effects and music, Real Friends will be a surefire hit with 8- to 14-year-olds (even those who don’t like to read!). As a bonus for parents and teachers, this app puts thought-provoking storytelling and solutions into the hands of teens who deal with tricky friendship issues every day. It will challenge teens to think about their friendships in new ways and encourage them to stand up for themselves and be more empathetic.

REVIEWS
“...Annie Fox’s series of graphic novels was cutting-edge in print—[but] even more amazing [as an app]! I am delighted to see the quizzes... These interactive activities can help young people integrate the important lessons from the novels into their lives. Electric Eggplant has really perfected an otherwise near-perfect series with this additional interactive content.”—Carisa Kluver, Digital Storytime

“Two thumbs up! This is a series not to be missed.”–Andrea Gardner, Applicable2U
“Who needs to pay $8 for a movie ticket, when you have the drama of middle school right in your hand?”—Lori Calabrese, National Children’s Books Examiner.com
“Will challenge teens to reflect upon their relationships and think critically about what it means to be a true friend.”—Mindy Douglas, Software Smoothie

Just a week ago I was talking with my son about his problems on how to know who your friend is in how to behave with those you think are just the opposite. Fortunately he is still in the question phase and having book like this one is a big help. To show, that this question (who is my real friend?) is not so special as kids may think (I have a unsolvable big unique problem nobody can solve). Guess what, they even made a comics book about it. And it is solvable. Fun read with interactive quizzes that flight-check your understanding. Definitely recommended. Parents included.
