낡은 가방과 구식 핸드폰 때문에 은근히 무시당하며 중학교 생활을 버텨내는 주인공 이선의 눈물겨운 생존기입니다. 마음 맞는 친구를 찾고 싶지만, 단짝 친구마저 엉뚱한 무리와 어울리며 이선을 외롭게 만들죠.

진정한 친구란 무엇인지, 남들 시선에 맞추지 않고 나다움을 유지하는 것이 얼마나 어려운지를 현실적이면서도 유머러스하게 담아냈습니다. 사춘기 아이들이 겪는 미묘한 소외감과 관계의 어려움을 따뜻하게 위로하는 성장 드라마입니다.

Perfect for fans of Jeff Kinney and Terri Libensen, A Kid Like Me is a timely exploration about finding your place in the ever-evolving social landscape that is middle school, written and illustrated by award-winning graphic novelist Norm Feuti.

Ethan doesn’t want to stand out, he just wants to fit in. But fitting in is tough when your peers call out your ancient cell phone, busted backpack, and discount clothing. To make matters worse, his best friend, Ricky, insists on hanging out with a group of guys who just don’t get him . . . they’re more interested in playing pranks than playing his favorite card game Bio Battle. Things start looking up, though, when Ethan befriends Aiden, a new kid in school, but it’s only matter of time before even that goes sideways.

Can Ethan figure out where he belongs without forgetting who he is and who he wants to be?
