The highly anticipated, standalone follow-up to the USA Today bestseller Jawbreaker, this funny, fresh, and incredibly relatable middle-grade novel is about a tall girl navigating friends, family, self-esteem, and boundaries—perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier.

Stevie Crumb doesn't want to stand out. But when you're nearly 5'10" in seventh grade, it's kind of hard not to. All anyone wants to talk about is Stevie's height—even Stevie's parents, who would just love for her to be an athlete like her basketball-star older brother. Sure, Stevie wants to be good at something—maybe even great at something. She'd just prefer it didn't draw even more attention to her lanky frame.

A chance encounter leads Stevie to the school's debate team instead, where she meets cute fellow debater Cedric. He's shorter than she is, and Stevie doesn't think anything of it—until her best friend points it out. Then strange guys on the subway start making comments about Stevie's body, too—which is not only annoying, but scary and unsafe. It's time for Stevie to ask for help, set some boundaries, and realize that standing up (and standing out) isn't such a bad thing after all.

From breakout author Christina Wyman, Slouch is a new must-read story about growing up and growing into yourself, inch by inch. It's ideal for readers who love Raina Telgemeier, Kelly Yang, Gordon Korman, and other endlessly funny and deeply heartfelt books that tackle big topics and universal coming-of-age experiences alike.

Don't miss Christina Wyman's hit debut Jawbreaker, which Publishers Weekly calls "Smile meets Wonder."
