Funny and full of heart, this debut graphic novel is a story about
friendship, identity, and embracing all the parts of yourself that
make you special. Fifth grade is just not Riley's vibe. Everyone
else is squaded up-except Riley. Her best friend moved away. All
she wants to do is draw, and her grades show it. One thing that
makes her happy is her favorite comedian, Joy Powers. Riley loves
to watch her old shows and has memorized her best jokes. So when
the class is assigned to write letters to people they admire, of
course Riley's picking Joy Powers! Things start to look up when a
classmate, Cate, offers to help Riley with the letter, and a new
kid, Aaron, actually seems to get her weird sense of humor. But
when mean girl Whitney spreads a rumor about her, things begin to
click into place for Riley. Her curiosity about Aaron's two dads
and her celebrity crush on Joy Powers suddenly make more sense.
Readers will respond to Riley's journey of self-discovery and will
recognize themselves in this character who is less than perfect but
trying her best. And creative kids will recognize themselves in her
love of art and drawing. While often funny and light, Riley's
exploration of what it feels to be an outsider and how hard it can
be to make a friend break your heart in the best way. And with all
of Riley's hijinks and missteps, this story is laugh-out-loud funny
from start to finish.
