This is a magical book that guides the reader through the challenge of developing new friendships. Tilly has just moved to a new house. While she is with her dog she is happy in her new home, but the challenge of going to school without her dog raises uncertainty about creating new friendships. In order to help, her teacher suggests trying the friendship bench. There she finds Flint. Because their friendship does not spark instantly they decide the bench has broken. The magic arises as the two work together to mend the bench without realising they have built a brand-new friendship of their own.
