Breakout

內容簡介

內容簡介 “The next great middle grade author.” ―Colby Sharp, literacy advocateFrom the USA Today–bestselling author of Jawbreaker and Slouch, Breakout is a fresh and funny middle-grade novel about a girl with chronic acne figuring out how to feel good in her own skin.Ellis Starr likes learning about active volcanoes. She does not like having acne that resembles them. But it’s not just cosplaying as a pepperoni pizza that has Ellis on the verge of erupting. Her mom’s hot-and-cold moods have the two of them butting heads nonstop―especially now that her mom is dating for the first time since her parents’ separation. Then there’s Ellis’s best friend, Aggy, whose own life―and skin―seems perfect. And who could forget that Ellis still needs to decide on a research topic for a big school project.With eighth grade proving to be every bit as pesky as a new pimple, Ellis’s only bright spot is the time she spends with her aunt Lydia, whose adorable puppy, Rocco, is a natural stress reliever. (And perhaps the perfect subject for her project.) Maybe this season of breakouts can lead to a breakthrough about what Ellis needs to truly feel good in her own skin.Rising star author Christina Wyman takes on a quintessential middle-school experience―acne―with her trademark humor, honesty, and heart. Breakout is a must-read for kids ages 8-12 who love Raina Telgemeier, Terri Libenson, Kelly Yang, Gordon Korman, and other endlessly funny and deeply heartfelt books that tackle big topics and universal coming-of-age experiences alike.If you enjoyed Breakout, you’ll also love the USA Today bestsellers Jawbreaker and Slouch from Christina Wyman.

各界推薦 A Junior Library Guild SelectionAn Amazon Best Book of the MonthA Barnes and Noble Best Book of the Month★ “Wyman expertly captures the tween voice and struggles with Ellis as she navigates eighth grade. While her issues with acne are a focal point of the story, her relationships with her friends and family are also at the forefront. The topics discussed are handled with honesty and humor and don’t downplay that their importance for middle schoolers . . . A realistic fiction title worthy of any middle school and public library shelf.” ―School Library Journal, starred review“A 13-year-old navigates ‘the Acne Scale of Doom,’ strained friendships, and parental insensitivity in this fresh and funny drama . . . Candid, humorous narration centers adolescent angst while highlighting financial tension in a family anchored by separated, blue-collar parents who ‘can’t afford to get a real divorce,’ resulting in another snappy, sensitive, and sage offering from Wyman.” ―Publishers Weekly“A humorous coming-of-age novel with zits, separated parents, complicated friendships, and therapy dogs . . . Wyman authentically portrays multidimensional teens and adults, expertly pacing the intergenerational interactions among characters who care for each other but sometimes need to learn to listen to different perspectives . . . A witty story about feeling good in your own skin that rings true emotionally.” ―Kirkus Reviews“This novel of 'dogs, stress, and breakouts' ends on a hopeful note, promoting the value of mental-health awareness, intervention, and honest, clear communication.” ―Booklist
