Because words can hurt you too.

Noah’s the quiet type, which makes him a great friend for Veronica. She chats. He listens. She gabs. He nods. Perfect!

So when Veronica spots Noah getting teased, she decides that if he won’t speak up for himself, she will! What she doesn't expect is that the teasing will turn on her -- and her sense of style. Veronica's so embarrassed that she agrees to a mega Makeover from Cora, the Queen of Cute. When this only makes the name-calling worse, Veronica and Noah know just who to call for back-up: the one-and-only problem-solving team, the Fix-It Friends!

This is the second adventure in The Fix-It Friends chapter book series. Author Nicole C. Kear anchors humor with lots of heart, as the group learns to deal with teasing and bullying.

Includes a toolbox of expert advice on how to handle teasing!

She has a bunch of fancy, boring diplomas, and one red clown nose from circus school. Seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I absolutely LOVED this book and read it in one night
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

A review dictated to me by my daughter, the 7.5-yr-old reader of this book! "I absolutely LOVED this book and read it in one night. I read fast! It was so relatable -- I loved Veronica and sometimes she really reminded me of myself. I also felt like the tips for how to handle problems like name-calling and bullying were something I would actually use. I didn't get bored at all, and I cannot WAIT to read the next two books. Oh and I want to know SO badly what Veronica's brother Jude's middle name is? What does the B stand for???!!!"

Every 1st-3rd grader should read The Fix-It Friends series. Characters have to work through their emotions to resolve conflict. The series treats kids as capable of empathy and collaboration.

My 7 year old just read both of these books by Nicole Kear and LOVED them. As soon as she finished the second one she asked when the next one in the series would be coming out. I hope Ms. Kear can write quickly to appease her growing fan base! Congrats on these fabulous books

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017
The Fix-It Friends is a breath of fresh air in a world of children's books that underestimates the intelligence of their core audience. Nicole C. Kear created a fully realized world of sincere and relatable characters in her first book, and her second doesn't suffer from sophomore slump, the characters are fleshed out, the humor is riotous, and the book beautifully deals with bullying. The genius of "The Fix It Friends" is that the world Veronica Conti lives in is by no means perfect, there are antagonists, mean remarks, and problems, but that is precisely the appeal of the novel. The Fix it Friends characters have problems a plenty, but that purely adds to the realism and originality of the book Nicole Kear has created. The humor is also enjoyable no matter what your age is, and doesn't go for the lowbrow jokes some books go for. If I could make a comparison, I would say it is "Junie B Jones" meets "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". It possesses the same character types as Junie and has the clever, witty humor of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. In short, The Fix It Friends is an excellent gem of a book, and one that deserves recognition.
