This is a really important graphic novel for elementary and middle school. It follows a middle school girl who struggles with anxiety, which is portrayed as another version of her. I think this one would be a great book for discussion, especially because of the way that it portrays strategies that students can use to combat anxiety, like grounding and separating their identities from their anxiety.
