“The next great middle grade author.” ―Colby Sharp, literary advocate
From the USA Today–bestselling author of Jawbreaker and Slouch, Breakout is a fresh and funny middle-grade novel about a girl with chronic acne figuring out how to feel good in her own skin.
Ellis Starr’s chronic acne often resembles the active volcanoes she likes collecting facts about in her journal. But it’s not just cosplaying as a pepperoni pizza that has Ellis on the verge of erupting. Her mom’s hot-and-cold moods have the two of them butting heads nonstop―especially now that her mom is dating for the first time since her parents’ separation. Then there’s her best friend, Aggy, whose own life―and skin―seem perfect. And who could forget that Ellis still needs to decide on a research topic for a big school project.
With eighth grade proving to be every bit as pesky as a new pimple, Ellis’s only bright spot is the time she spends with her aunt Lydia, whose adorable puppy, Rocco, is a natural stress reliever. (And perhaps the perfect subject for her project.) Maybe this season of breakouts can lead to a breakthrough about what Ellis needs to truly feel good in her own skin.
Rising star author Christina Wyman takes on a quintessential middle-school experience―acne―with her trademark humor, honesty, and heart.
