A note for parents

This is a thoughtful graphic novel about middle school friendships and identity. The story centers on Jorge navigating peer pressure while figuring out what matters to him, with themes of authenticity and self-acceptance. The artwork is engaging and age-appropriate, and the emotional conflicts feel genuine without being heavy. It's an excellent choice for readers exploring their own social dynamics.
