A rivalry between sisters culminates in a fencing Duel in this funny and emotional debut graphic novel sure to appeal to readers of Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale.
But will winning the Duel mean fracturing their family even further?.
Both sisters are determined to triumph.
Their school is divided into GiGi and Lucy factions, complete with t-shirts declaring kids\' allegiances.
As the clock ticks down to the girls\' fencing bout, the anticipation grows.
And GiGi must behave perfectly or risk getting kicked off the fencing team.
Lucy stopped practicing fencing after their fencer dad died and will have to get back to fighting form in secret or she\'ll be in big trouble.
But after their scene in the cafeteria, both girls are on thin ice with the principal and their mom.
If GiGi wins, Lucy promises to stay out of GiGi\'s way; if Lucy wins, GiGi will stop teasing Lucy for good.
When GiGi humiliates Lucy in the cafeteria on the first day of school, Lucy snaps and challenges GiGi to a Duel with high sisterly stakes.
They never got along super well, but ever since their dad died, it seems like they\'re always at each other\'s throats.
Oh, and they\'re sisters.
They\'ve only got one thing in common: fencing.
GiGi is the undisputed queen bee of eighth grade (as well as everything else she does).
Sixth grader Lucy loves fantasy novels and is brand-new to middle school.
