Description
At a new school, Penelope “Peppi” Torres wants nothing more than to survive her first day without attracting attention. Instead, she drops her belongings, accepts help from a kind boy named Jaime, and then runs away when bullies mock him. Shame keeps her from apologizing, turning one panicked mistake into a barrier that grows harder to cross. As Peppi makes friends, joins the art club, and confronts the everyday pressures of student life, she must decide whether fitting in matters more than making amends. This school-life graphic novel treats embarrassment, loyalty, and forgiveness with humor while showing how courage can begin with an awkward conversation.
