Fall in love
with Suzy as she takes on the challenge of making new friends. Suzy simply
wants someone to play with, but her family are all too busy to spend time with
her.
Her family have
just moved to a new house, a new town and a new country. The chaos of packing
and unpacking boxes leaves no time for anyone to have fun.
Moving to a new
home is hard enough, but a totally new area means Suzy has no friends. On her
own Suzy is feeling very lonely.
So, Suzy decides to take the initiative to try and find a friend by advertising for one. It cannot be just anyone, there are certain criteria that they must address.
Suzy draws up criteria that her prospective friend must enjoy which includes eating biscuits, colouring in and dressing up. However, no one answers the advertisement and Suzy is still on her own.
That is until
Bear turns up the next day. Even though he is late, Suzy decides to interview
him for the position. Bear passes with flying colours – until he refuses to wear
shoes.
Will this be
the end of the blossoming friendship? Can they compromise?
Author Sharon
