Hi! My name is Joy Applebloom and I’m ten years old.

People say I am a ‘glass half full’ kind of person, which basically means I see the good in everything. And right now I’m going to need all my powers of positive thinking to fix a really tricky situation . . .

My new best friend Benny just hasn’t been himself lately. I have to find out what’s going on and bring back Benny’s special smile for good…

A heart-warming and positive story about family, friends and the importance of kindness with gorgeous illustrations from Claire Lefevre.
