In the second book of a bestselling graphic novel series that explores family, friendship, and change, a former city kid is finally adjusting to life on a farm with two brand-new stepsisters when she faces an even bigger challenge: middle school.

“Readers looking for budding romance (or avoiding it altogether) will find characters to cheer.” —School Library Journal, starred review

Jen is just getting used to her life on Peapod Farm with her new stepsisters, Andy and Reese. But when the school year starts, there are even more changes in store for her.

Jen has to navigate new friends and new challenges—but at least she'll have Andy with her, right? As she starts sixth grade, she finds that her stepsister seems way more interested in crushes and boys than hanging out with her, while Jen wants to know when the world decided boys and girls couldn't be "just friends" anymore.
