Growing Pangs (Graphic Novel)

本書跟隨 Katie 度過充滿變動的新學年。她原以為自己與 Kacey 的友情堅固如同項鍊上的字樣，然而夏令營後的距離感讓她開始懷疑友情是否會改變。面對六年級即將到來的新生活，她對牙套、同儕以及是否能融入產生許多憂慮。她嘗試用反覆的動作讓自己冷靜下來，也悄悄思索：若別人知道她的擔心會不會覺得她很奇怪？本書以平實風格描繪成長過程中難以言說的情緒，展現尋找理解與支持的重要。

New grade. New friends. New worries? Introducing an irresistibly relatable graphic novel about friendship, anxiety, and growing up―just right for fans of Real Friends and Guts!

Katie knows there’s stuff that makes her different. She’s homeschooled, she has freckles, and her teeth are really crooked. But none of these things matter to Kacey. They’re best friends forever―just like their necklaces say. But when they go to summer camp, Kacey starts acting weird. What happened to the “forever”? And when Katie gets home, she can’t stop worrying. About getting braces. About 6th grade. About friends. She knows tapping three times or opening and closing a drawer won’t make everything better…but sometimes it helps stop the worrying. Is something wrong with her? And will anyone want to be friends with her if they find out?
