Klappentext
End of sixth grade they made it their official name. It was a joke one afternoon but they liked the way it sounded. Permanent. The Old Friends. This way, the five girls agree, it's just a fact. And ours forever.
'Redel proves that female friendship is the quiet, steady engine that truly runs the world.'
Hannah Tinti, bestselling author of The Good Thief
'Smart, moving, sweeping, poetic, stinging, just beautiful.'
Dani Shapiro, author of Still Writing
