DIARY OF A GIRL NEXT DOOR: BETTY (HC)
We are very excited to present Archie Comics’ debut title in
the cartoon diary genre!
Betty Cooper is embarking on her first year of high school.
It’s sure to be filled with ups and downs, but with her trusty diary by her
side, she’ll be able to get through it all. She’s a smart girl with a kind
heart, so her freshman year should be easy-peasy, right? Well, throw in some
major BFF drama with her longtime pal Veronica Lodge and things get off to a
rocky start. Veronica’s rich,
ruthless and snobby—the total opposite of Betty. And in high school where
social status means EVERYTHING, Betty and Veronica can’t be the same besties
they once were. Everyone’s favorite girl-next-door is diving head first into
her high school career and extracurricular activities—from dog training to peer
mediation to BMX competitions, Betty Cooper can do it all—but can she get by
WITHOUT a little help from her friend? Find out in this heartwarming tale of the scariness that is starting high
school in Archie's first-ever venture into the hugely popular journal series,
with DIARY OF A GIRL NEXT DOOR: BETTY.
