A OKAY GN (2021) HARD COVER

A-Okay by Jarad Greene is a vulnerable and heartfelt semi-autobiographical middle grade graphic novel about acne, identity, and finding your place. When Jays acne goes from bad to worse, he is prescribed a powerful medication that comes with some serious side effects. Regardless, hes convinced itll all be worth it if clear skin is on the horizon. Meanwhile, eighth grade isnt going exactly as planned. All of Jays friends are in different classes; he has no one to sit with at lunch; his best friend, Brace, is avoiding him; and-to top it off-Jay doesnt understand why he doesnt share the same feelings two of his fellow classmates, a boy named Mark and a girl named Amy, have for him. Dont worry, though . . . everything is going to be a-okay. (Right?)
