Calling all Raina Telgemeier fans! The Newbery Honor-winning author of
Roller Girl is back with a heartwarming graphic novel about starting
middle school, surviving your embarrassing family, and the Renaissance
Faire. Eleven-year-old Imogene (Impy) has grown up with two parents
working at the Renaissance Faire, and she's eager to begin her own
training as a squire. First, though, she'll need to prove her bravery.
Luckily Impy has just the quest in mind—she'll go to public school
after a life of being homeschooled! But it's not easy to act like a
noble knight-in-training in middle school. Impy falls in with a group
of girls who seem really nice (until they don't) and starts to be
embarrassed of her thrift shop apparel, her family's unusual
lifestyle, and their small, messy apartment. Impy has always thought
of herself as a heroic knight, but when she does something really mean
in order to fit in, she begins to wonder whether she might be more of
a dragon after all. As she did in Roller Girl, Victoria Jamieson
perfectly—and authentically—captures the bittersweetness of middle
school life with humor, warmth, and understanding.
