Not the Worst Friend in the World by Anne Relliha centers on a young girl named Lou, who wants to prove that she is a good friend. Eleven-year-old Lou wishes she could go back in time, as she misses being with her old friend, Francie. Lou and Francie used to be best friends until they had a fight, during which Lou said terrible things to Francie that she now regrets. Lou longs for the way things used to be before they started sixth grade.
Everything changes when the new girl, Cece Clark-Duncan, passes Lou a note during class. It says that she has been kidnapped, and Cece asks Lou for help. Lou decides that by helping Cece, she can prove to Francie that she is not a terrible friend.
The book was an okay read. It was straightforward with no twists and turns, offering a heartwarming story about friendship, forgiveness, and trusting oneself. It was nice to see Lou, Cece, and Francie lean on each other and grow. I would recommend the book for young readers who might enjoy the characters and their stories.
