"... lighthearted illustrations and Max's quirky personality shine." - Publishers Weekly

A best friend makes school life MUCH easier when you're shy. But what happens when your best bro moves away?!

With his best friend Miguel by his side, Max never thought about the fact that he was a little different and kind of shy.

Now that Miguel has moved away, Max has to figure out how to make new friends and he has no idea how it all works.

To make matters worse, he only has one month to do it before the new school year starts. YIKES!

In Fitting Out: The Friendship Experiment, 10-year-old Max sets out to make new friends, using the scientific method to conduct his own friendship experiment.

While testing out his hypotheses for finding new friends, Max discovers what works (and what TOTALLY doesn't!). With his scientific plan, a little bravery, and perseverance, Max finds out where he fits, just in time for the first day of school.

Your shy kids who struggle with making friends are going to LOVE this relevant and helpful story.
