Mixed Signals: A Graphic Novel (Mixed Feelings #2)

Beschreibung

In this funny, feel-good follow-up to Mixed Feelings, Sara struggles to find her place because she's constantly caught between TWO spaces: childhood and adulthood, drama club and volleyball, friends and a crush. Perfect for fans of The Tryout, The New Girl: First Crush, and Pizza Face. Middle school is a balancing act! Seventh grade couldn't be off to a better start: Sara's joined drama club and made the volleyball team, she has great friends and a growing crush, and now that she's thirteen -- officially a teenager! -- she has increased responsibilities at home. But Sara starts to struggle... Because of her volleyball schedule, she's not cast in the play. And due to her commitment to drama club, she's benched during the big game. To make matters worse, her crush, Hector, only seems to talk to her when he needs help in math class (and her friends are noticing the pattern). And to top it off, her parents pick and choose when to treat her like a kid or a grown-up. Sara's finding herself caught in a strange in-between space. Is she an actress or an athlete? A crush or a calculator? An adolescent or an adult? With so many mixed signals, will Sara ever be able to find her place?
