Explore Your Imagination and Discover the True You in The Real Riley Mayes + GIVEAWAY!

Fifth grade is SO not Riley’s vibe. Her BFF moved away, all the other kids are squaded up, and it seems like she’s always in trouble for just being herself. Plus, no one seems to get her sense of humor.
In The Real Riley Mayes by Rachel Elliott, Riley is always getting called out for doodling in class, ignoring her assignments to draw pictures of her favorite comedian, Joy Powers. When her class is assigned to write letters to people they admire, Riley knows exactly who to pick and feels confident that she’ll finally be able to ace an assignment!
Determined to get a good grade and make friends at school so her mom will let her take drawing classes at the Art Barn, Riley begins looking for ways to connect with the other students, and it seems to be working. Cate likes drawing with Riley and offers to help with her writing, and the new kid, Aaron, actually laughs at her jokes.
But just when school starts to feel fun, mean girl Whitney starts a rumor about Riley that leaves her questioning everything – including herself. Riley’s obsession with Joy Powers suddenly makes so much sense, but everything else just got so much more confusing, and she’s not sure where to look for answers.
Riley’s endless imagination is brought to life through the crayon doodle art vibes the author uses to illustrate this relatable graphic novel. Riley brings creative vibes and a silly sense of humor to everything she goes through, even when things don’t go exactly as planned. She’s definitely the kind of kid you’d want to sit next to in class!
We found ourselves wishing we could be friends with Riley IRL, which is why we teamed up with our friends at HarperCollins for a giveaway! The winner will snag a copy of The Real Riley Mayes and some awesome art supplies to encourage your own Riley-inspired doodles at home!
