Best Friend Thief

Nathalie and Reagan have been best friends for years when popular Blair comes along and decides Reagan is going to be her new best friend. The Best Friend Thief tells the universal story of what happens when a third girl enters an established two-girl best friendship. Certain trouble, that's what!

Nathalie can't believe it. Her best friend Reagan is ditching her to be BFFs with the class popular girl. They'd been best friends forever, but when Queen Blair decides that she wants Reagan to be her BFF, Reagan is gone in a flash. Catherine and Isabel can't believe it either. They're best friends just like Nathalie and Reagan, and the four of them always hung out together -- but now what? Will Nathalie get Reagan back? Does she even want her back? Will the group ever be the same again? Confusion and hurt feelings take over -- and that's just the start of it!

Laurel-Ann Dooley writes books for girls that are about girls, especially girls who are good friends. Before she started doing that, she wrote lots of other stuff -- magazine stories, newspaper articles, even a boring grown-up book.  But she thinks that the best stories to tell are the ones that come from the lives of all the girls she has known.
