Hector and Louie are celebrating their awesome friendship by writing a book together.  But when one of them slips and tells a the other’s secret embarrassment, things get heated.

Watson writes a great little book showing that friends can make mistakes and get mad and apologize and be friends still.  I love the several “cover” changes for their book during the story.  I also like the different illustration style from Pham – a nice change that works great for the context.
