Just as Long as We're Together


Stephanie Hirsch and Rachel Robinson have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They have been there for each other through thick and thin, and through each other’s secrets, so it’s no surprise that they start junior high together on a positive note, but things don’t turn out like they expected or how they should. Stephanie’s parents are separating. There is also a new girl in town: Alison Monseau, the girls’ neighbor, and Stephanie really wants the three of them to be friends, but will having a third person in their usual group of two ruin Stephanie’s friendship with Rachel?


There should always be room for one more in a friendship. In middle school, friends are a focal point in students’ lives. Friends are the most important topic on their minds. Middle school is very different from elementary school. Students have six different teachers and six different classes instead of just one. They will meet people from other school. Making new friends is inevitable, but it is also important that they stay in close touch with their old friends. New friends bring something new and exciting to the table, but old friends know what is good for us. All together they make a nice friendship.
