A heartfelt graphic novel about LGBTQ+ identity, acceptance and friendship for readers aged 12+
“This is the first in a brand new graphic novel series that we think early teen readers will really go for. We are huge fans of L.D. Lapinski's inclusive middle grade fiction and are super excited that they are turning their hand to graphic novels for older readers. Fans of Heartstopper are going to love this.”
~Emily
At school, Elliot gets bullied for being 'different to other girls' whereas at the skate park, everyone welcomes Elliot - presuming they're male - but neither label feels right.
As Eliot's love of skateboarding and friendships grow, their worlds collide at a sports expo where the school netball team and skate crew are competing. Can Elliot find the courage to share what they've learned about non-binary identity? Will best friend Jess or the skateboarding crew accept Elliot for who they are? And what about Ryan, the skater who Elliot has been feeling increasingly close to?
L.D. Lapinski lives in the Scottish Highlands with their family, a lot of books, and a cat called Hector. They are the author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency and Artezans trilogies, the standalone novel Jamie, The Biggest Christmas Secret Ever and Stepfather Christmas. They have also written for BBC's Doctor Who books, and write stories for grown-ups as Lucy Lapinska.
