Jensen struggled to find his place in middle school, but he's finally made friends in the art club. Some of them are better friends than others, but that's normal in any friend group... right? He doesn't fully fit in--he hasn't read the same books, or watched the same movies--but they still save him a seat at lunch, except when they don't. 
 Middle school is confusing. 
 Jensen may be overlooked by his art club friends, but he's been helping the newspaper staff with some last-minute deadlines, and finds himself confronting some uncomfortable truths about who is, and isn't, his friend. 
 Definitely ordering this for the middle school collection--it speaks to a lot of the issues that hit this age group, especially with all the shifting social alliances. That the art is adorable is an added bonus.
