Friendship and change on Peapod Farm

Jen’s adjustment to farm life and her new stepsisters gives way to the social shifts of sixth grade in this graphic novel. As Andy becomes interested in crushes and boys, Jen questions why girls and boys are no longer expected to be simply friends. The story brings together two familiar transitions—starting middle school and renegotiating a family bond—with the changing expectations around friendship at its center. As the second book in the Peapod Farm series, it continues Jen’s move from city life into a new household and community.

Book overview

In the second book of a bestselling graphic novel series that explores family, friendship, and change, a former city kid is finally adjusting to life on a farm with two brand-new stepsisters when she faces an even bigger challenge: middle school.

"Like [Raina] Telgemeier, [Lucy] Knisley has a knack for crystallizing coming-of-age anxieties and social dynamics."--The New York Times

Jen is just getting used to her life on Peapod Farm with her new stepsisters, Andy and Reese. But when the school year starts, there are even more changes in store for her.

Jen has to navigate new friends and new challenges--but at least she'll have Andy with her, right? As she starts sixth grade, she finds that her stepsister seems way more interested in crushes and boys than hanging out with her, while Jen wants to know when the world decided boys and girls couldn't be "just friends" anymore.
