A Box Full of Friends

Bella C., age 8, Pennsylvania

I love the Friend. I have a whole box full of Friend magazines. I am supposed to read 20 minutes every day, and I often read the Friend. I’m always so excited when it comes. One of my favorite stories ever is “New Dress, Old Rules” in the May 2007 issue. It taught me a lesson because the girl in the story felt like she wasn’t as good as other girls. There have been times when I felt left out. The story helped me feel better. I can’t wait until I get the next Friend.
