Description

Amina Banana and the Formula for Friendship by Shifa Saltagi Safadi introduces us to Amina Banana, a determined and clever third grader, starring in a new chapter book series with a STEM twist. It's ideal for fans of The Questioneers and Junie B. Jones!

Amina loves bananas, science, and all things yellow! Her family recently arrived from Syria to Indiana, and she's starting at a brand-new school in a brand-new country. She's excited but also nervous, especially about making friends. To fit in, she develops the perfect formula:

Speak English + wear a perfect outfit + be a good student + eat American food = Make American Friends!

However, when the first few days are harder than Amina imagined, she's left worrying—why doesn't her formula add up?
