GiGi is the undisputed queen bee of eighth grade (as well as everything else she does). They\u2019ve only got one thing in common: fencing. Oh, and their sisters. They never got along super well, but ever since their dad died, it seems like they\u2019re always at each other\u2019s throats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When GiGi humiliates Lucy in the cafeteria on the first day of school, Lucy snaps and challenges GiGi to a duel with high sisterly stakes. If GiGi wins, Lucy promises to stay out of GiGi\u2019s way; if Lucy wins, GiGi will stop teasing Lucy for good. But after their scene in the cafeteria, both girls are on thin ice with the principal and their mom. Lucy stopped practicing fencing after their fencer dad died and will have to get back to fighting form in secret or she\u2019ll be in big trouble. And GiGi must behave perfectly or risk getting kicked off the fencing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the clock ticks down to the girls\u2019 fencing bout, the anticipation grows. Their school is divided into GiGi and Lucy factions, complete with t-shirts declaring kids\u2019 allegiances. Both sisters are determined to triumph. But will winning the duel mean fracturing their family even further?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goshen Public Library call number:  <\/strong> JF BAGLEY (GRAPHIC NOVEL)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jessixa Bagley Year of Publication:\u00a02023 A summary from Goodreads:&nbsp; A rivalry between sisters culminates in a fencing duel in this funny and emotional debut graphic novel sure to appeal to readers of Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale.
