Flip: A Graphic Novel

(Author & Illustrator: Ngozi Ukazu)

Freaky Friday meets The Other Black Girl in this funny, heart-wrenching YA graphic novel about identity, privilege, and self-acceptance from the New York Times bestselling author of Check, Please!

Senior Year Bucket List? Switch Bodies with Your Crush.

Chi-Chi Ekeh has one huge problem: she keeps falling for rich white boys who don't even know she exists. Enter Flip Henderson—the most popular jock at school. When Chi-Chi’s private video asking Flip to senior prom is leaked to their entire class, Flip rejects her publicly. But what happens next defies all logic: Chi-Chi, a shy scholarship student, mysteriously switches bodies with Flip.

Suddenly, Chi-Chi is 6’1” and effortlessly cool, while Flip gets an eye-opening crash course in Chi-Chi’s daily reality—from hair braiding and K-pop to navigating life as a student of color in an elite private school. As graduation approaches and the body swaps grow longer and more unpredictable, Chi-Chi and Flip are forced to form an unlikely partnership. Will they survive senior year? And can walking a mile in each other’s shoes help them find their way back to themselves?
