Meet Andy who is prodded by his Mom to ask a friend to play on a summer day. Always wanting to be the one asked to do things instead of doing the asking, much like all of us, Andy initially resists but eventually sets out to knock on his friend's door. Along the way, Andy thinks of all the things his friend might say or do. He might have other friends over and play games Andy isn't good at, which could make him the target of jokes. None of these things happens, of course, as Andy learns to trust those who trust him and what it means to be a real friend in this book for early readers ages 6-9.
