Ana and Harwin’s friendship has been off the charts since day one! But when Harwin learns her family is moving away, the two aren't sure how their friendship can survive. See how their friend-o-meters calibrate in this imaginative, heartwarming story by New York Times infographics contributor Lalena Fisher.

In Friends Beyond Measure, Ana explores her feelings and experiences with colorful hand-drawn maps, diagrams, graphs, and charts! From how to make fairy tea to the neurodiverse friends’ planned world exploration, every page is filled with delicious details for the reader to pore over. And the book includes backmatter on the types of graphs and suggestions for readers to create charts of their own.
