The Greatest Thing

Lady Bird meets This One Summer in this young adult graphic novel about the life-saving power of teen friendships. Its the first day of sophomore year, and since Winifreds two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school, she must navigate high school on her own. But she isnt alone for long. In art class, she meets two offbeat students, Oscar and April. They dont look or act like the typical teenagers in her small New England town: theyre creative, a little rebellious, and seem comfortable in their own skin in a way that Win can only dream of. The three bond through clandestine sleepovers, thrift store shopping, and zine publishing. Winifred is finally breaking out of her shell, but theres one secret she cant bear to admit to April and Oscar, or even to herselfand this lie is threatening to destroy her newfound friendships.
