On her first day at a new school, Penelope "Peppi" Torres trips over Jaime Thompson, a quiet boy. To avoid being labeled the "nerd girlfriend" by the mean kids, Peppi shoves Jaime and runs away. Regretful, she joins the art club, but Jaime is a member of the science club, the art club's archrival! When the two clubs go to war, Peppi realizes that sometimes you have to break the rules to survive middle school. This graphic novel explores themes of friendship, acceptance, and overcoming social awkwardness.
