Tuva is starting seventh grade, excited to check off her goals: writing in her diary, rocking a trendy look, building the ultimate fort in the woods with her best friends, and more. But when school starts, things aren't quite what she imagined.
Seventh grade has divided her friends into two camps—TEAM LINNEA, the girls obsessed with love and relationships, and TEAM BAO, the ones who couldn’t care less about romance. Linnea has a boyfriend, Bao despises anything to do with love, and worst of all, they both expect Tuva to pick a side!
In this charming, hand-lettered coming-of-age graphic novel, Tuva navigates the tricky space between childhood and adolescence. Then Miriam enters her life, and Tuva suddenly feels like she's met her soulmate. But can she keep her feelings for a girl hidden from her friends and still make it through seventh grade? For Tuva, it might be possible—but it's definitely not going to be easy. We have jiyana with us today to discuss this lovely book.
