A girl navigates middle school dynamics while dealing with her own cognitive distortions in Nat Again, a graphic novel by Maria Scrivan.
The most popular girl in school is throwing the biggest party of the year, and everyone is invited but Nat. *Gasp!* As Nat wonders why, she becomes tangled in her own “thought traps” — the false stories she’s created in her mind. Did she say something hurtful or do something wrong? Maybe she’s just too uncool to be included? Before jumping to conclusions, can Nat get out of her own head long enough to find the truth? —Synopsis provided by Graphix
