A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year
Molly Bauer's first year of college is not the picture-perfect piece of art she'd always envisioned. On day one at PICA, Molly discovers thatâthrough some horrible twist of fateâher full-ride scholarship has vanished! But the ancient texts (PICA's dusty financial aid documents) reveal a loophole. If Molly and 9 other art students win a single game of softball, they'll receive a massive athletic scholarship. Can Molly's crew of ragtag artists succeed in softball without dropping the ball?
The author of the New York Times best-selling Check, Please series, Ngozi Ukazu, returns with debut artist Madeline Rupert to bring an energetic young adult story about authenticity, old vs. new, and college failure. It also poses the question: âIs art school worth it?â

What reviewers said
A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year
A Harvey Award nominee for Best Young Adult Book
A YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens selection
"The diverse ensemble cast is hilariously written, ingeniously personifying and exaggerating the delightfully weird, bombastic student body of an art school."
"The characters have well-developed personalities, and their interactions thoughtfully explore themes of teamwork, coming out of your shell, trusting in yourself, and learning to rely on others as the pressure to win a game mounts."
"Ukazu, known for the Check, Please! graphic novel duology, has once again created an appealing coming-of-age college narrative."
"Fans of Ukazuâs popular Check, Please! series will adore this crew of weirdos bonding and working together."
"The creators offer a jovial and highly enjoyable story that underscores issues surrounding financial precarity and educational inequity."
