TURNING TWELVE

Random House Children’s Books

Katie can't wait to turn twelve. Pool parties! Babysitting! Hanging out with friends! But sometimes it feels like there's so much new stuff she can barely keep up. First Job? (Yes!) Unfair dress codes? (No way!) Makeup? (Okay?!) Shaving? (Uh. . .) Maybe growing up isn't as much fun as she had expected. But one thing does seem right: her new friend, Grace.

Could Katie have a crush on another girl? Katie knows not everyone around her will approve . . . which is kind of scary. She might not be ready to tell anyone yet, and that’s okay, but can Katie stay true to herself and embrace the person she's growing up to be?

From the creators of the acclaimed graphic novel Growing Pangs comes another pitch-perfect coming-of-age graphic novel, set in the same beloved universe.
