Finally got around to this middle grade graphic novel that was one of the 2024 Rainbow List selections from ALA, and it's such a delight! This book captures the difficulty that is 7th grade, while also discovering that you might be different from everyone else. It captures that feeling of middle school so perfectly.

The art in this is also just lovely! Dåsnes captures feelings so well through color and expressions. I can definitely see why this book got so much praise!
