Funny and endearing, this graphic novel is perfect for anyone who has ever felt out of place in their lives.

When thirteen-year-old Juniper, a student, wins a scholarship to study at the prestigious Ellsmere boarding school, she thinks she's hit the jackpot. But living at Ellsmere is far from paradise: she keeps getting called a "weirdo," the most popular girl in school is determined to bring her down, and rumor has it that a mythical beast lurks in the woods. Will Juniper make it through a year at Ellsmere?
