Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pressure of a perfectionist streak or when a previously shared hobby is starting to drive a wedge between siblings. Inbetweens follows twin sisters Ash and Sloane at an elite animation camp where they realize their paths are beginning to diverge. While one sister battles the frustration of not being an immediate expert, the other begins to question if her heart is still in the art they once shared. This graphic novel masterfully navigates the middle school transition where childhood interests become serious pursuits and identities begin to separate. It is a gentle, realistic exploration of sibling dynamics and the 'growth mindset' for children aged 8 to 12, offering a mirror for kids who feel the weight of high expectations.
