Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Nervous Norvis and the Friendship TestNorvis doesn't have a phone. And at school, that makes him different.While his classmates trade "pings" back and forth - funny, and sometimes not-so-funny, messages about each other - Norvis is always a step behind. When Ricky and Angie start teasing him for not being "in on it," Norvis has to decide: does he go along with them to fit in, or does he trust what he already knows about who's actually kind to him?Things come to a head when Ricky and Angie get in trouble for being mean to another kid at recess - and try to blame Norvis, who was only ever their lookout. Suddenly Norvis is left wondering if the kids he thought were his friends were ever really on his side at all.Luckily, Norvis isn't alone. His friend Marvin is always excited to see him, never says anything mean, and would rather kick a soccer ball around than make anyone feel small. And when Norvis needs help sorting it all out, his Uncle Joe is there to remind him what real friendship looks like - and that friends help each other, no matter what. Nervous Norvis and the Friendship Test is a warm, honest story about telling real friends from fake ones, standing up for yourself when peer pressure creeps in, and learning that it's okay to be different from the people around you. Through Norvis's journey, young readers see that true friendship isn't about being included by everyone - it's about being treated with kindness by someone.In this story, kids will discover: How to recognize a friend who's genuinely kind versus one who isn't That real friends are excited to see you - not mean or hard to be around Why peer pressure doesn't have to win, even when it's uncomfortable That it's okay for a friend to like different things than you do That you don't have to do everything your friends do to belong Gentle, relatable, and rooted in real childhood moments, Nervous Norvis and the Friendship Test is perfect for kids working through friendship struggles, peer pressure, or the challenge of feeling "different" - and for the parents, teachers, and school counselors who want to help them through it.The second book in the Nervous Norvis series, following Nervous Norvis Goes to Morocco.
