School girl. Skater boy. What if neither label fits? A poignant LGBTQ+ graphic novel about self-discovery, skateboarding and finding your true community of friends, perfect for fans of Heartstopper.



At school, Elliot gets bullied for being ‘different to other girls’ whereas at the skate park, everyone welcomes Elliot – presuming they’re male – but neither label feels right.



As Eliot’s love of skateboarding and friendships grow, their worlds collide at a sports expo where the school netball team and skate crew are competing. Can Elliot find the courage to share what they’ve learned about non-binary identity? Will best friend Jess or the skateboarding crew accept Elliot for who they are? And what about Ryan, the skater who Elliot has been feeling increasingly close to?



The first volume of a new graphic novel series that will steal your heart!
