Hello didong, When we talk about love, there's a tendency to focus on romantic relationships, overlooking the importance of friendship. But as the books I'm recommending this week demonstrate, we all need a good friend to lean on — whether you're a teen who has lost a parent, a middle-aged woman coming to terms with aging, or a renowned detective with a reputation to uphold. Read on to find out more about this week's characters and their best friends. ⛏ Hunter Malone's middle grade adventure Knocktopia follows thirteen-year-old Ben as he's sent to live with his step-grandmother following the death of his father. The year is 1873 and in the town of Gold Flat the mining industry is booming. Ben's father left him a medallion and some coded letters, and along with his new friends, Ben must figure out what secrets are hiding in the mines, and who he can trust in this town. Fans of The Goonies and Raiders of the Lost Ark will be captivated by this Dickens-esque adventure and its wonderful characters. 👠 Jennifer DiVita's Not Your Shoe Size sees life-long best friends Julia and Colette clash time and again, and it doesn't get any easier with age. Julia has no trouble embracing her gray hair and wrinkles, while Collette is doing everything she can to appear and feel more youthful. Told through a series of clever vignettes, this is an important and humorous novel about friendship, loyalty, and growing old in an ageist society. 🔍 The Further Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Caiden Cooper Myles is an anthology of short stories featuring entirely new mysteries that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson must solve as they traverse across London and the south coast. Myles's tone and characterization of the famous pair show that he has a deep understanding of canon, while adding his own flair. Fans of Arthur Conan Doyle won't want to miss this latest addition! Finally, for more stories about friendship, check out Amanda Marisol's The Preserve for Enchanted Creatures — a heartwarming middle grade fantasy novel featuring magical creatures, beautiful camaraderie, and vivid worldbuilding. It's a story that YA and adult readers will adore too. Happy reading! P.S. Want to see your book featured here? Submit it for review on Discovery.  Felicia – Editorial Manager
