Sinopsis	SLOUCH A USA Today bestseller perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Slouch 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 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. CHRISTINA WYMAN She is a teacher and writer living in Michigan with her husband and silly rescue cats named Alfred and Greta Cannoli-not to mention the raccoons, owls, and hummingbirds that occupy a tree outside their bedroom window. She grew up in a tiny apartment with her family in Brooklyn, New York, where she dreamed of becoming a writer. Her work has been published in New York Magazine, The Washington Post, Elle, Ms. Magazine, The Independent, and other outlets. When she's not writing, you can find her stocking up on chocolate or trying to convince her husband to adopt more cats. Most recently, she's developed a passion for eating strawberry jam straight out of the jar. Christina is the USA Today-bestselling author of the middle-grade novels Jawbreaker, Slouch, and Breakout.
