Kickflip: Vol. 2
About this ebook
School girl. Skater boy. What if neither label fits? An LGBTQ+ graphic novel about skateboarding and finding yourself - and maybe falling in love along the way.
Elliot finally feels like they are starting to fit in at the skate park, but when they realise they might have feelings for one of their fellow skaters, they're not sure what to do about it. And with bullies and pressure about what they're going to do next at school, things aren't any easier there either.
Can Elliot figure out not just who they are, but what they really want - and be brave enough to go for it?
The second volume of the new graphic novel duology that will steal your heart, for fans of Heartstopper!
