A For Effort
āĻāĻ āĻ-āĻŦā§āĻā§āĻ° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
The start of Jayâs freshman year is full of new things . . . New friends. New classes. New challenges.
All of which are expected, until his new friend groupâs obsession with perfect grades puts the pressure onâespecially when his best subject, art, is full. Without it to anchor him, Jay hopes theater class will be the easy A heâs looking for. But when the class begins, Jay finds himself struggling like never before. Turns out balancing Shakespeare with biology and geometry is a lot harder than he thought. Will Jay be able to step into the spotlight and deliver an A+ performance?Â
Perfect for readers of Yehudi Mercado and Rachel Elliott, A for Effortâs refreshingly witty and honest story is a heartfelt exploration of how itâs not always the outcome but the journey itself that truly matters.Â
