Positively Izzy
£9.99Middle school is all about labels. Izzy is the dreamer. There’s nothing Izzy loves more than acting in skits and making up funny stories. The downside? She can never quite focus enough to get her schoolwork done. Bri is the brain. While she’s proud of her excellent grades, she wishes people would see there’s more to her than just a report card full of As. And that her mum would stop bugging her to ‘break out of her shell’ and join drama club. The girls’ lives collide on the day of the school talent show, which turns out to be even more dramatic than either Bri or Izzy could have imagined – and proves once and for all that the only label you need is ‘be yourself’.

And things can be tough – whether it’s unruly customers or the snotty popular girls who bully Jo for being different. Even when she does find a BFF who actually likes Jo for herself, she still has to contend with her erratic dad’s behaviour. All Jo dreams of is breaking free and forging a career as an artist. Told in diary entries and doodles, Jo’s brilliantly funny observations about life, family and char siu make for a searingly honest portrayal of life on the other side of the takeaway counter.
