Just Pretend
Just Pretend is a middle grade graphic memoir by Tori Sharp about navigating family changes, shifting friendships, and big feelings by escaping into stories and imagination. The main character, a stand-in for the author, copes with her parents’ divorce and social struggles by drafting a fantasy novel in her notebook, blurring the line between real life and make-believe. Upper elementary and early middle school readers who love slice-of-life comics connect with the honest depiction of anger, loneliness, and creative resilience. Parents appreciate that the book tackles heavy topics gently and invites conversations about how storytelling can help kids process tough experiences.
