Clash is book #4 in the Click series. Olive is back! Natasha is new to the area and is joining Olive’s class. Olive volunteers to show Nat around, but Nat has eyes on making friends with the “cool kids.” Day after day, Olive tries to be a good friend in spite of Nat’s behavior, like when she takes Olive’s skateboard or insults Olive’s movie choices. When Olive suggests a Halloween party instead of trick-or-treating, Nat initially dismisses the idea (Olive invites her anyway). Olive’s best camp friend Bree comes to visit for the party and sees how mean Nat is being to Olive, something everyone else seems to have missed. When Nat makes a poor decision at the party, suddenly everything is revealed to the whole group of friends. This graphic novel is a poignant tale about conflict, friendship, and the significant ways changes and transition can impact our lives. Highly recommend for any youth graphic novel collection.
