The Popularity Papers: The Long-Distance Dispatch Between Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang
This fifth installment of Amy Ignatow’s The Popularity Papers series continues the hilarious and heartfelt adventures of best friends Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang — but this time, they’re separated by an entire ocean!
When Lydia’s family moves to London, England, the two girls must keep their friendship alive through emails, letters, and doodles. They share everything: new schools, new crushes, and awkward social situations — but long-distance friendship turns out to be harder than they imagined. Misunderstandings, jealousy, and homesickness test their bond, yet through it all, Lydia and Julie learn that true friendship can survive any distance.
Told in the signature scrapbook style filled with colorful drawings, handwritten notes, and humor, the story blends laughter, emotion, and honesty about growing up and staying connected.
