A Conversation with the Creators of Besties: Work It Out Could everyone speak to what their role in Besties is? KAYLA: Im one of the authors, and after a lot of planning with Jeffrey, I write the outline for the story and come back at the end of the process to help tighten up the dialogue and jokes. JEFFREY: As a coauthor, I develop the story with Kayla and then write the full script. KRISTINA: I am the main illustrator, so Im inking and drawingessentially taking the script and bringing it to life. DAMALI: Im the colorist, and its my job to take all the locals and flesh out the scenes that Kristina draws. Locals, or local colors, are the standard hues you would assign to each object. Kayla, Besties reflects an expansion of the world that youve established in Click. What did you most respond to about directions that Jeffrey took? KAYLA: I really liked the humor and energy that Jeffrey brought to the story. We wanted the book to have that feeling of when youre a kid or a tween and youre with your best friend and the crazy antics that you get up to. Like a never-ending sleepover! I also enjoyed how Jeffrey took the characters and developed their voices through the dialogue and expanded their personalities. What did you most respond to about the direction Kristina took? KAYLA: How expressive the art is! The facial expressions are big and fun and lively. The attention to detail makes the world of Besties feel really full and lived in. Jeffrey, were there themes in Besties you especially wanted to explore? JEFFREY: I was most interested in exploring how Beth and Chanda were going to deal with the new concerns in their lives. Money, family, or status can be abstract to younger kids, but when you hit that tween or teenage stage, they become important in your lifeto the extent that youre concerned with them and your actions start to matter in a new way. Read more Seeing how the girls were going to deal with those new pressureshow they were going to figure out what mattered to them and make the right choices from therewas very fun to explore. What did you want to bring forward from the Click storytelling? JEFFREY: The things I like most about Kaylas books are the heart and kindness of them. Theyre extremely optimistic. They show growth between friends and people. Theres not a desire to write people off or give up. So I wanted to bring that here. These girls are not averse to getting into trouble, but theres this core of love that I think is really important. Do you have a favorite scene in the book? KAYLA: I have two favorite scenes. I really like the second lamp break where Baxter is running in circles around the room and jumping on everything. I havent had a lot of chances with the Click books to write physical comedy, so it was fun figuring out each thing that needed to happen for that lamp to smash. That was the only scene Jeffrey and I wrote together, and it involved me running around the house and showing how Baxter would do this, and then Beth would lean like that, so it was just a really fun experience of writing that scene. As far as my favorite scene in the finished book...I really like the dressing up in Ms. Langfords closet scene. It reminds me of all the dressing room montages in movies from the 1990s and early 2000s. Its just so fun and brings me back to my childhood. JEFFREY: My favorite scene is their final odd job being entertainers at the birthday party. I enjoyed writing the song, for one. The costumeseverything about it was a joy to squeeze in there at the end. Read more KRISTINA: My favorite scene is actually one of the sadder parts of the book, when the girls are fighting and they go to school. Theres something about that part that really got me like, wow, I know exactly what this feeling is, because weve all been there. Weve all had a fight with our sibling, or our best friend at school, or one of our classmates. And you feel that almost-physical woe, especially when youre young. It becomes so tangible. You guys did a really good job of writing that down, so making that part in the book was super fun, but also touching in a way. Im having fun the whole time, so it was just kind of a switch when I got to this part. It was like, whoa! DAMALI: I like the scenes with Lisa in them. Im also an older sister and I find her relatable. After the girls confess about what happened at Ms. Langfords house and she was like, OK, you cant do that. You cant break peoples stuff and you cant wear their clothes when theyre not around" -- that was my thought when I saw that dress-up montage. Thats fun, but those arent your clothes! Do you have something youre hoping readers will take away from the book? KAYLA: I always come back to how I want my readers to communicate with other people. So many of the problems that we face are misunderstandings that come about because we're not expressing ourselves clearly. So I think sharing your problems with others, talking with other people, and communicating clearly could help a lot of situations. JEFFREY: I want to add on to what Kayla said, because thats true even in a best friend relationship. Read more This book is very much about how you need to nourish that relationship. We can fall into thinking that your best friend is your best friendyou dont necessarily need to worry about them, theyre always going to be therebut that might not be the case, especially if you dont make the effort to figure out where your best friend is at. There are these little moments of miscommunication or omitted communication between Beth and Chanda that they learn to work through. It makes their friendship stronger. KRISTINA: I think the main lesson is that, overall, friendship takes work, and just because something gets bad doesnt mean its always going to stay bad. The most wonderful relationships and friendships you have may face big conflict or have some problems that arent always easy to navigate. But working through it is so worth it. Even when things feel really tough or uncomfortable, making the effort to figure things out can only make your friendships stronger.
