The story of a young Parisian girl lost in the gulf between childhood and adulthood, navigating depression... and discovering the Beatles.

“Le Huche deftly handles complex feelings about growing up in a soft visual style, similar to Reimena Yee's Séance Tea Party (2021).”
—Booklist

“...A a sumptuous feast for the eyes, especially when Magali’s inner thoughts spill out onto the page...a tribute to the incomparable Fab Four through the lens of a childhood obsession.”
 —School Library Journal

This is the story of a girl growing up in the 1990s – a middle-schooler who finds herself developing paralyzing fears of failure, school, other people, and her own changing body. Along the way, she becomes obsessed with the Beatles... which might be just what she needs to find her way back to being okay. Yeah yeah yeah!
