My latest book, a graphic novel about a young girl who’s scared of everything, just came out! Available in the best bookstores.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s what Publisher’s Weekly has to say about it:<\/p>\n

Jessie, a self-described \u201cnerd extraordinaire,\u201d candidly evaluates her life in this illustrated notebook-style novel, which is packed with screwball cartoons, doodles, lists, and comics sequences. Jessie shares her trepidation about starting high school and her disdain of the \u201ccool\u201d kids. Included in her hand-drawn list of \u201cTop 10 reasons why there\u2019s no way I\u2019ll ever be supercool\u201d are the facts that she reads too much, doesn\u2019t smoke, and is \u201cscared of everything.\u201d Painted in bright greens, pinks, and blues, Gravel\u2019s (How Do You Doodle?) cartoon illustrations feel ripped from the fertile mind of a creative, self-doubting teen and always amplify Jessie\u2019s moods. Faced with the potential loss of her best friend, Jessie imagines being forced to transform herself into a pierced, cigarette-holding \u201cBad Jessie Doll\u201d (\u201cPull the cord and she\u2019ll use swear words!\u201d shouts the packaging). Jessie\u2019s exploration of her identity is relatable, and the art-heavy format, combined with all-too-common teenage worries and fears, make this a natural pick for fans of series like the Popularity Papers or Raina Telgemeier\u2019s comics. Ages 10\u201314.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n
