"My name is Jessie Elliot.

I'm a nerd and I'm always reading, especially Archie comics. This is my last summer as a kid. In the fall, I'll be starting high school at Maisonneuve Secondary. There, everyone acts like they don't care about anything. They hang out with their greasy faces and eyes made up like raccoons, hurling insults at each other. They smoke cigarettes, probably imagining they look like hip-hop stars. Maybe there's a chemical reaction in the human brain that triggers when you turn 13 and makes you instantly stupid?"

In the media:

"Jessie's quest for identity is a relatable subject; the artistic format combined with the worries and fears shared by teenage girls makes this book a natural choice for fans of series like Popularity Papers or Raina Telgemeier's graphic novels."
