Overview

Twin sisters Sloane and Ash are two peas in a pod, and they do everything together: watch movies, attend classes, and most importantly, draw! So when the summer animation classes of their dreams are about to start, they can barely contain their excitement! Well.Ash is excited but Sloane is surprised to find she isn't as jubilant about it, which makes no sense, since she loves art. Meanwhile, Ash discovers that just because you love something, doesn't mean you'll automatically be good at it, and she struggles under the weight of her own expectations and those of her teacher's. As the summer drags on, the trials of learning, new relationships, and a tough schedule drives a wedge between the twins. Can their bond survive the summer? With her signature humor, sincerity, and ability to weave nuanced stories of friendship, Faith Erin Hicks delivers a tale of protecting your creative heart, and the importance of people who support you.
