Independent novel

I think there are real life issues reflected in the book, like Jonah (one of the main characters) finding new friends in middle school and leaving his best friend behind even though Blister (main character) is still there for him and watches out for him. There are lots of people who lose there best friend for some people who just popped up in there life. The author makes Blister look like the best friend ever and she is, she doesn't give up on Jonah. She knows Jonah's new friends are bad and she is helping him not be friends with them anymore. They author portays that good friendships shouldn't be abandoned and there is always room for new friendships but good ones and ones that don't leave your bestfriend behind.
