Synopsis

In the second book of a bestselling graphic novel series that explores family, friendship, and change, a former city kid is finally adjusting to life on a farm with two brand-new stepsisters when she faces an even bigger challenge: middle school.

"Like [Raina] Telgemeier, [Lucy] Knisley has a knack for crystallizing coming-of-age anxieties and social dynamics."—The New York Times

Jen is just getting used to her life on Peapod Farm with her new stepsisters, Andy and Reese. But when the school year starts, there are even more changes in store for her.

Jen has to navigate new friends and new challenges—but at least she'll have Andy with her, right? As she starts sixth grade, she finds that her stepsister seems way more interested in crushes and boys than hanging out with her, while Jen wants to know when the world decided boys and girls couldn't be "just friends" anymore.

Goodreads review by Eve on February 17, 2024

This book was beautifully done. The great writing combined with the gorgeous illustrations, made for a really satisfying read. Somehow Kinsley has (through Jen) expressed so exactly the frustration of not understanding Romance. And the yearning for every friendship to stay the same. The annoyance of gr......more
