Following an eventful sixth grade year in Best Friends, Shannon, an eighth grader, is navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence, where everything feels increasingly complex and ever-changing. She's struggling with the social pressures of her peers, who are beginning to date while she remains on the sidelines, and she constantly battles an underlying sense of unhappiness. Despite her efforts to appear cheerful, Shannon grapples with insecurities and undiagnosed depression, leading her to question if there's something fundamentally wrong with her.
Haunted by the fear of disappointing those who care about her, Shannon embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She questions her identity and seeks to understand who she truly wants to be, rather than conforming to the expectations of others. Through their relatable storytelling and heartfelt illustrations, the authors create a narrative that resonates with readers of all ages, offering a message of self-acceptance and reassurance that everyone is inherently worthy.
