Stuck

Summer camp should be carefree—but what happens when your two best friends stop speaking to each other and you’re caught in the middle? New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Kayla Miller returns with another heartfelt graphic novel that captures the complicated reality of navigating friend groups.

Olive arrives at Camp Acorn Lake ready for two weeks of sunshine and fun with her friends Max and Bree. But before the buses even leave the parking lot, disaster strikes: her two closest camp friends are locked in a major conflict, refusing to speak to each other—and worse, expecting Olive to pick sides. Every attempt she makes to smooth things over only seems to make matters more tense, leaving her feeling completely stuck.

With Willow busy with her own camp activities and only reluctant first-timer Nat for company, Olive’s dream summer is quickly unraveling. She throws herself into a new project—developing a winning plan to improve the camp—but even this challenge requires teamwork that her feuding friends can’t provide.

Miller’s vibrant illustrations and emotionally honest storytelling shine in this relatable tale about the messy reality of friendships. Young readers will recognize themselves in Olive’s struggle to please everyone while losing sight of her own needs. Stuck delivers an important message: you can’t control how others feel, but you can choose how you respond.

Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and anyone who’s ever felt caught between friends, this latest installment in the beloved Click series proves why Kayla Miller remains one of the most trusted voices in middle-grade graphic novels.
