Ollie's excitement at making a new friend quickly turns to dismay when she realizes that Bea, her best friend, doesn't seem too pleased about the situation. Bea's jealousy and possessiveness threaten to ruin their friendship, causing tension and resentment between the two girls.

At first, Bea tries to ignore Ollie's new friend, hoping that she will eventually get over her and return to their exclusive friendship. However, as time goes on, Bea's jealousy becomes more intense, and she starts to make attempts to sabotage Ollie's relationship with her new friend.

Ollie, feeling hurt and betrayed, tries to confront Bea about her feelings, but Bea is defensive and refuses to listen. She accuses Ollie of neglecting their friendship and being selfish for wanting to spend time with someone else.

As the situation escalates, Ollie begins to feel like she is losing her best friend. She wonders if she ever really knew Bea or if Bea was just using her for her own benefit. She starts to distance herself from Bea, feeling hurt and alone.

Meanwhile, Bea realizes that she has been selfish and unfair to Ollie. She realizes that her jealousy has caused her to lose sight of what is truly important in a friendship - trust, respect, and support. She decides to make amends with Ollie and try to rebuild their friendship.

Bea approaches Ollie and apologizes for her behavior. She admits that she was wrong to try to sabotage their friendship and that she should have been more supportive of Ollie's happiness. Ollie, feeling grateful for Bea's apology, decides to forgive her and give their friendship another chance.

Over time, Bea and Ollie learn to share their time and interests with each other, finding new ways to spend time together without compromising their friendship. They realize that true friendship is about being there for each other, no matter what, and that it is possible to have multiple close friends without feeling jealous or threatened.

Through their journey, Bea and Ollie learn valuable lessons about friendship, trust, and self-awareness. They discover that it is important to communicate openly and honestly with each other, and to be willing to compromise and sacrifice for the sake of their friendship.

In the end, Bea and Ollie's friendship is stronger than ever before. They have learned to appreciate each other's unique qualities and to celebrate their differences rather than compete with each other. They know that they can rely on each other for support and encouragement, and that their friendship will continue to grow and evolve as they face new challenges and experiences together.

This early graphic novel is a great tool for teaching young readers about the importance of friendship, communication, and self-awareness. Its silly puns and playfully-panelled story will engage and entertain young readers, while its message about the value of true friendship will resonate with them long after they have finished reading.
