By the Forces of Gravity “Throwback” Giveaways – Week 4 – Friendship!

Now that we’re just weeks away from the release of By the Forces of Gravity, it’s time to really have some fun!

By the Forces of Gravity takes us back to the 1970s, and reading about this era is sure to stir up some nostalgia. In fact, no matter in what decade you came of age, reading a book like this will certainly drum up some memories. So, starting each “Throwback Thursday” for the next few weeks, we’re giving you a prompt inspired by the book!

These last few weeks (we’re extending the contest for our last prompt!), it’s best one of all: FRIENDSHIP.

Gravity, above all, is the story of the friendship between Becky Starfish and Luna. As in the image above from the book:

“We’re like sisters” Luna says
“Better” I say
Because sisters aren’t all that great
“Is there such a thin as soul friends?” I ask

Tell us about your childhood best friend. What do you remember most about them? Maybe share a picture? In short, who is YOUR Luna?
