Waiting on Wednesday features Forever Friends by Shannon Hale, illustrated by LeUyen Pham. This pair's earlier collaborations, Real Friends and Best Friends are TMS favorites. Fans will be psyched to learn of volume 3! 

Here's the publisher synopsis: Shannon is in eighth grade, and life is more complicated than ever. Everything keeps changing, her classmates are starting to date each other (but nobody wants to date her!), and no matter how hard she tries, Shannon can never seem to just be happy.

As she works through her insecurities and undiagnosed depression, she worries about disappointing all the people who care about her. Is something wrong with her? Can she be the person everyone expects her to be? And who does she actually want to be?

With their signature humor, warmth, and insight, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham have crafted another incredible love letter to their younger selves and to readers everywhere, a reminder to us all that we are enough.
