DESCRIPTION
Road trips, physics and friendship collide in this gorgeous graphic novel about the highs and lows of a gap year that is perfect for fans of Heartstopper and The Greatest Thing.
Note to self: no matter how messy or confusing, the universe is an orderly place with physics to guide you.
High school is over. Dash is excited to spend their gap year working for the local science museum, travelling and teaching kids about physics. Maybe they'll even make a friend. People are part of the universe, so the laws of physics should also apply to them, right?
Except Dash discovers the workplace is just as challenging as school - relationships are confusing, students don't follow the rules and co-workers aren't what they expect. Then Dash meets Kay. Can opposites really attract? Or will Dash's attempts to use physics to understand their world repel a potential friend?
A heartfelt YA graphic novel about friendship and finding your place in a puzzling world by the highly acclaimed comic artist of the CBCA Notable graphic novel Stars in Their Eyes.
The Friendship Paradox is perfect for:
- Readers aged 13 and up who love funny and uplifting stories about friendship
- Fans of graphic novels like The Greatest Thing, Stars in Their Eyes and Heartstopper
- Readers who love comics and visual storytelling
