WHEN FRIENDSHIP FOLLOWED ME HOME
A breathtaking middle-grade novel about happiness, loss, and an unforgettable dog named Flip.
Ben Coffin has never been one for making friends. As a former foster kid, he knows people can up and leave without so much as a goodbye. Ben prefers to spend his time with the characters in his favorite sci-fi books…until he rescues an abandoned mutt from the alley next-door to the Coney Island Library.
Scruffy little Flip leads Ben to befriend a fellow book-lover named Halley—yes, like the comet—a girl unlike anyone he has ever met. Ben begins thinking of her as “Rainbow Girl” because of her crazy-colored clothes and her laugh, pure magic, the kind that makes you smile away the stormiest day.
Rainbow Girl convinces Ben to write a novel with her. But as their story unfolds Ben’s life begins to unravel, and Ben must discover for himself the truth about friendship and the meaning of home.
Paul Griffin’s breathtaking middle-grade debut will warm your heart as much as it breaks it.
Paul wrote several young adult novels, Ten Mile River, The Orange Houses, Stay With Me, Burning Blue and Adrift. When Friendship Followed Me Home, a novel for middle grade readers, comes out June 2016. Marty, another MG novel, comes out in 2017. Paul lives in New York City with several crazy dogs (often featured in his stories) and one very patient wife, Risa Morimoto, who also happens to be his favorite moviemaker. paulgriffinstories.com
