What is Turning Twelve (A Graphic Novel) about?
Katie is excited to turn twelve, but growing up brings more than pool parties and babysitting. Her best friends are moving away, school and church life become harder, and her anxious “buzzing thoughts” grow louder. Then Katie meets Grace, a new friend who makes her wonder whether her feelings might be more than friendship. As she faces bullying, changing expectations and fears that others may not accept her, Katie begins to explore her identity and discover the courage to be true to herself.
