A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

The next great middle grade author. --Colby Sharp, literacy advocate

A Best Book of the Month from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com

From the author of Jawbreaker, this USA Today bestseller is a funny and fresh middle-grade novel about a tall girl navigating friends, family, self-esteem, and boundaries.

Stevie Crumb doesn't want to stand out. But when you're nearly five foot ten in seventh grade, it's kind of hard not to. All anyone wants to talk about is Stevie's height--including 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 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 the breakout author of Jawbreaker, Slouch is a new must-read story about growing up and growing into yourself, inch by inch. It's ideal for readers ages 8-12 who love Raina Telgemeier, Terri Libenson, Kelly Yang, Gordon Korman, and other endlessly funny and deeply heartfelt books that tackle big topics and universal coming-of-age experiences alike.

If you enjoyed Slouch, then you'll also love Christina Wyman's bestselling debut, Jawbreaker, and her forthcoming book Breakout. Order your own copy today!
