Dethany and the Other Clique cover

Dethany and the Other Clique is a graphic novel prequel to the hit comic strip series On the Fastrack, created by Bill Holbrook. The lighthearted, middle-grade reader follows the popular comic character Dethany Dendrobia as she navigates daily life in contemporary middle school.

The 128-page graphic novel’s humor spoofs the restrictiveness of a school’s culture of cliques by taking its social strata to absurd extremes. Upper elementary and middle-grade readers will enjoy the laughs along the way and cheer its ultimate celebration of individuality.

“Although the concept might seem outlandish atfirst, it hews very close to the experience of many middle school students -while it may not be literally true, it will certainly feel truefor some readers. When you're in middle school, it can seem as though joining aclique is compulsory, and as Dethany soon discovers, once you've beenpigeonholed, it can be nearly impossible to get the masses to see you any otherway.” - The Beat
