Alex has crippling social anxiety. All day long, she is trapped in a web of negative thoughts and paralyzing fear. To pull herself free of this endless cycle, Alex does something truly terrifying: She signs up for an improv comedy class. By forcing herself to play silly games and act out ridiculous scenes, Alex confronts the unbearable weight of embarrassment, makes new friends, rediscovers parts of herself that she' d hidden away, and ultimately faces her greatest fear by performing onstage for all to see.
Graphic memoirs about anxiety are not uncommon, but Graudin' s unusual take explores how facing fears and a willingness to try something new--even something as straightforward as improv--can be a significant step in changing one' s life. --Booklist Informative reading for young people seeking creative ways to break the chains of social anxiety. --Kirkus
