Jay is always scribbling poetry in their notebook. When they come across Skip, a Double Dutch team, they befriend the members–and decide to join, too. For the first time ever, Jay has a place to belong–and friends to confide in.
But Jay’s friendship with their new bestie Beah is intense, both in and out of Double Dutch. As Beah and Jay help each other grow into the people they will become, it challenges their friendship and their own identities.
This charming “slice of life” graphic novel is about accepting yourself, navigating “first love” friendship, and finding your own voice. It’s rendered in debut author-illustrator Sarah Burgess’s gorgeous art style ribboned with playful humor and sports drama.
