Just Pretend by Tori Sharp

This 298-page graphic memoir gives a thorough and beautiful portrayal of the perspective of a child with divorced parents finding her way through middle school with her exquisite imagination and writing skills.

Tori’s story meant a lot to me personally, and I can bet that many others could relate with it as well.

Spoiler: Sometimes it’s easier to just pretend.

Middle School Monday: Just Pretend by Tori Sharp

When Tori was in middle school, she was dealing with different kinds of stress at home and at school. There was tension with her siblings, tension between her divorced parents, and tension with her friends. But through it all, she had her imagination and the stories that she created by herself and with her friends.

In this graphic-format autobiography, readers will be pulled along in different directions as they follow Tori’s real life, the fantasy stories that she created, and the way that her life influenced those stories.
