It’s Fonna’s twelfth birthday, and her family has just moved to a new neighborhood. Unfortunately for her, she never approved. I’m so far from my friends, and these street names are strange, she’d sadly complain. Not even the celebration of her birthday can cheer Fonna up. That is, until she receives a rather curious (yet potentially rewarding) gift from her mother which challenges Fonna to make as many new friends as she possibly can at her new school. Will Fonna’s attempt at making friends ultimately pay-off, or will she find all of her efforts dashed to pieces? In this third children’s book by Doc Colour, Fonna’s Change Mantel is an impassioned and devious story with a wonderful rhyming style that is witty and fun to read. Illustrated for the first time in color, Fonna and her friends brilliantly come alive on the pages as their free-spirited personalities uniquely interact, leaving Fonna to calculate the true value of friendship.
