Shannon Hale

In sixth grade, Shannon has a place in the popular in-crowd, The Group, where her best friend Jen is the leader. But its unwritten rules keep changing: Shannon is unsure which television shows and music are acceptable and whom she can talk to. As she struggles to hold on to these friendships, she also copes with anxiety and develops her love of writing. The story is told through color graphic panels and is set in the 1980s.
