The Greatest Thing

It's the first day of Grade Ten; and Winifred is going to reinvent herself. Now that her two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school; Win must navigate high school on her own. Luckily; she isn't alone for long. In art class; she meets Oscar and April. They don't look or act like the typical teenagers in her town: they're creative; a little rebellious and seem comfortable in their own skin in a way that Win can only dream of.

But even though Winifred is breaking out of her shell; there's one secret she can't bear to admit to April and Oscar; or even to herself - and this lie threatens everything. Win needs to face her own truths; but she doesn't need to do it alone. Through the healing power of clandestine sleepovers; op-shopping and zine publishing; Win finds and accepts what it means to be herself.
