A powerful coming-of-age story brought to life in audio.

At thirteen, Orion Casey has stopped singing—and it’s not because she stopped loving it. After the girls everyone else follows start talking about her instead of to her, she’s finished performing for anyone.

Then the messages start.

Anonymous. Encouraging. A little too perfectly timed.

Someone’s been watching her, really paying attention, and part of Orion can’t help hoping it’s the one person she wishes would notice her back. The texts give her confidence she didn’t know she had enough to discover songwriting and a new way back to her music.

But as friendships shift and secrets surface, Orion begins to wonder: when your sense of self keeps changing based on who’s watching, how do you figure out who you really are?

Narrated by Jesse Vilinsky, whose emotionally rich performance brings Orion’s story to life.

“The one downside to this novella is that it’s over too soon; thankfully sequels will follow.”—Kirkus Reviews

Best Friends is a contemporary, fast-paced middle-grade novel filled with music, mystery, and real-life middle school drama. This audiobook features the original song “Best Friends” at the end, bringing Orion’s journey full circle through music.

Perfect for today's tweens who love character-driven stories about courage, creativity, and discovering who they really are.
