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.","brand":"Paul Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Penguin Young Readers Group \/ 18 Jul 2017 \/ 484","offer_id":53953794572629,"sku":"9780147510068","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780147510068.webp?v=1779172323","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/when-friendship-followed-me-home","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
