Official synopsis Publisher
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.
