It's Jessie Elliot's last summer as a child. In the fall, she'll be going to Hochelaga High―where the cool kids smoke, have piercings, and make out in abandoned parking lots. Jessie wants to be cool, but it's way more fun being uncool. That's why this summer she's going to get a high score in Tetris, draw her Super Pickle comics, read weird books at her best friend Julie's cottage, and daydream about her crush, Ben. But when Julie is suddenly BFFs with one of the cool girls, Jessie wonders what will happen to her perfectly nerdy and fun-filled summer.

About the Author:

Having completed her studies in graphic design, Elise Gravel found herself quickly swept up into the glamourous world of illustration. Her old design habits drive her to work a little text here and there into her drawings and she loves to handle the design of her assignments from start to finish. She is inspired by social causes and is turned on by projects which can handle a good dose of eccentricity. She lives in Montreal.

Review:

“Gravel excels at pithily portraying the rocky ground of the early teenage years, from friendships going off the rails to childish pranks on elderly neighbors that get carried a bit too far. Reluctant readers will want to check out this quick pick, as will the thoughtful, artistic adolescent crowd.” ―BCCB
