The next semiautobiographical graphic novel from Jarad Greene continues to follow Jay, this time as he faces his freshman year of high school--and a whole new world of friendships, self-discovery, and stress about the future.
The start of Jay's freshman year is full of new things . . . New friends. New classes. New challenges.
All of which are expected, until his new friend group's obsession with perfect grades puts the pressure on--especially when his best subject, art, is full. Without it to anchor him, Jay hopes theater class will be the easy A he's looking for. But when the class begins, Jay finds himself struggling like never before. Turns out balancing Shakespeare with biology and geometry is a lot harder than he thought. Will Jay be able to step into the spotlight and deliver an A+ performance?
Perfect for readers of Yehudi Mercado and Rachel Elliott, A for Effort's refreshingly witty and honest story is a heartfelt exploration of how it's not always the outcome but the journey itself that truly matters.
