The start of Jayโs freshman year is full of new things . . . New friends. New classes. New challenges.
All of which are expected, until his new friend groupโsย obsession with perfect grades puts the pressure onโespecially when his best subject, art, is full. Without it to anchor him, Jay hopes theater class will be the easy A heโs 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?ย
Perfect for readers of Yehudi Mercado and Rachel Elliott,ย A for Effortโs refreshingly witty and honest story is a heartfelt exploration of how itโs not always the outcome but the journey itself that truly matters.ย
