NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Everyone knows the most stressful day of middle school is picture day! And that's exactly where this yearbook-worthy graphic novel series begins: with reinventing yourself, drama, popularity, and the friends who see you through.

"Picture perfect." --Terri Libenson, author of Invisible Emmie

Seventh-grader Viv never looks forward to picture day. It's just another day where she wears a boring braid and no one notices her. (Her two best friends, Milo and Al, don't count, of course.)

But enough is enough. This year, she's taking matters into her own hands. Literally. Viv grabs a pair of scissors, her phone for live-streaming, and, well, bye-bye braid.

Suddenly Viv is an over-night influencer at Brinkley Middle School. Everyone wants her help planning their next big moment--from haircuts, to dance proposals, activist rallies and mathlete championships. She hardly even has time for her friends anymore. It's exactly how she dreamed of reinventing herself...right?

In the tradition of modern classics like Vera Brosgol's Be Prepared, Svetlana Chmakova's Awkward, and Kayla Miller's Click, Picture Day brings answers to perennial questions of what it means to be true to yourself--and a true friend.

Look for the whole Brinkley Yearbooks series, which can be read in any order:
PICTURE DAY - TRYOUTS - SCHOOL DANCE
