Olive Shares Her Guide to Getting Un-Stuck From Friend Drama in This EXCLUSIVE STUCK Minicomic

Have you ever been stuck in the middle of a friend fight? It can be a tricky situation to navigate, especially when your friends are asking you to take sides or making you feel uncomfortable. In Stuck, the seventh book in the Click graphic novel series by Kayla Miller, Olive is about to find out just how awkward friend drama can be.

🌟CAMP SURVIVAL GUIDE: Olive & Willow share their advice for surviving summer camp in an EXCLUSIVE minicomic HERE!

Olive is excited to spend another summer at Camp Acorn Lake with Willow and reunite with her camp friends, Max and Bree. But things get stormy quickly when Max and Bree start fighting almost right away. They’re refusing to speak to each other, and Olive feels stuck in the middle. All her attempts to make things right between them only seem to make things worse, and it’s making camp really uncomfortable. All Olive wanted was to spend an amazing summer doing camp stuff with her favorite people, but instead, Willow is super busy with camp activities, and all Olive has are two feuding friends and Nat, an unhappy first-timer who doesn’t want to be there.

When news arrives about a potential donation to improve the camp, Olive throws herself into planning and brainstorming a big idea in hopes of winning the contest. Turns out, a distraction is exactly what she needed. Max, Bree, Willow, and Nat all want to help with her plans, but tensions are high and drama threatens their teamwork.

Book cover for Stuck by Kayla Miller

Kayla Miller, the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator of the Click graphic novel series and coauthor of the Besties series, returns with a new Olive story! Olive’s hopes for a relaxing two weeks at Camp Acorn Lake are challenged when two of her friends stop speaking to each other.

A storm is brewing—in the skies and in Olive’s friend group.

Olive is excited to reunite with Max and Bree at Camp Acorn Lake, but the buses have barely pulled away when her two closest camp friends start fighting…and it’s not just a little squabble. They refuse to speak to each other and, even worse, try to make Olive choose sides. Any attempt to smooth things over seems to aggravate them more, leaving Olive stuck in the middle. With Willow enjoying her busy activity and social schedule, Olive has no choice but to spend most of her time with unhappy first-time camper Nat. It’s far from the fun-filled, sun-filled summer she had planned.

Luckily, Olive is able to distract herself with a new challenge: pitching a winning plan for improving the camp! Willow, Nat, and even the feuding Max and Bree want to help Olive make the camp a better place, but with all the drama, they’re lacking the teamwork to make the dream work. Can Olive find a way to free herself and her friends from everything that’s holding them back, or are they doomed to stay stuck in their disagreements?

New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Kayla Miller returns with another vibrant and emotional story about the joys and challenges of navigating friend groups and the importance of remembering that the only feelings you can control are your own.

Olive’s Guide to Getting Un-Stuck From Friend Drama:

TITLE: Olive's Guide to Getting Un-Stuck From Friend Drama Exclusive minicomic featuring Olive from Stuck by Kayla Miller PANEL 1: Olive and eight of her friends are sitting around a table playing a board game. Everyone is smiling and laughing. There is text above and below the panel, which reads: "Having friends who are friends with each other is THE BEST! It multiples the fun, enhances the inside jokes, and really opens up your board game options." PANEL 2: Bree and Max are standing close to the front, both frowning and looking annoyed. Bree has her arms crossed and Max's hands are on their hips. Olive is standing behind them in the background frowning and looking upset. The sky is purple and stormy. Text reads: "But when two people you're friends with start fighting with each other...that can be the worst." PANEL 3: This is broken into two smaller panels. In the first one, Olive looks stressed out, holding up rocks as if she's a scale. She looks like she's struggling to hold up the weight. The bottom panel shows Olive thinking with her hand on her chin. There are question marks around her. Text between the panels reads: "It can be tempting to make a judgement or choose a side, but remember that you might not know all of the information." PANEL 4: Bree, Olive, and Max stand next to each other, all shouting as if they are in a fight. Text reads: "Instead of inserting yourself in the middle of the fight..." PANEL 5: Left side shows Olive comforting Bree, the right side shows Olive comforting Max. Text in the middle reads "Focus on being supportive to both people involved - " PANEL 6: Bree and Max are talking and smiling. Olive is off to the left side, smiling and looking proud. Text reads "And encourage them to speak to EACH OTHER in order to sort out their issue!" Bottom of the comic says: "See how well Olive follows her own advice in STUCK, a new CLICK graphic novel."
