From the bestselling author of the Okay Witch series comes a contemporary graphic novel about the only thing standing between the kids of Orange Grove Junior High and summer break—one party, and a whole lot of drama.

Six very different kids' stories collide at an unforgettable last day pool party in this hilarious and relatable story about friendship, popularity, and the messiness of growing up.

When her name gets skipped at the eighth-grade graduation ceremony, Rose decides she is done being invisible. She's determined to finally stand out and make her unfulfilled middle school dreams come true at the upcoming pool party. But she's not the only one who wants to make a splash... BFFs Liv and Juhi are on the verge of a friend break-up when Juhi reveals her family is moving, and Liv uses the party as a chance to scout for a new bestie. Queen bee Maya was forced by her mom to come to unpopular Dustin's party to be "nice". Meanwhile, her not-so-social cousin Paul is just trying to avoid all the pool party pandemonium.

By the time the sun sets, unexpected twists and ridiculous mishaps will make this the weirdest, wildest last day of school ever. Get ready, because this party is about to go off the deep end.
