Hello, Betty! -|The Riverdale Diaries, Volume 1|-

Betty Cooper and her buddies from Archie|s Riverdale are reimagined for middle-grade readers in this full-length, full-color graphic novel written by rising star Sarah Kuhn and drawn by critically acclaimed artist J. Bone!Betty Cooper and Val Smith are best friends ready to start middle school. They|ve always done everything together--taken the same classes, played the same games, and created the world of Sparklespacelandia in Betty|s backyard together--so naturally, Betty assumes they|ll continue to be an unbreakable duo once the school year starts. But Val finds herself drawn toward pursuing a music elective, and does it without Betty at her side. Suddenly Betty|s on her own for the first time since Val moved to the neighborhood, and she|s struggling to deal with being lumped in with the loser drama class--that just happens to be dominated by snotty and powerful Veronica Lodge! Even the presence of other friends like Archie, Jughead, and Sabrina isn|t making Betty feel better about her estrangement from Val. Will Betty and Val find a new way to connect, or has middle school ended their friendship for good?
