Best At it

From award-winning actor Maulik Pancholy comes a hilarious and heartfelt middle grade debut about a gay Indian American boy coming into his own.

Rahul Kapoor is heading into seventh grade in a small town in Indiana. The start of middle school is making him feel increasingly anxious so his favourite person in the whole world his grandfather Bhai gives him some well-meaning advice: Find one thing you're really good at and become the BEST at it.

Those four little words sear themselves into Rahul's brain. While he's not quite sure what that special thing is he is convinced that once he finds it bullies like Brent Mason will stop torturing him at school. And he won't be worried about staring too long at his classmate Justin Emery. With his best friend Chelsea by his side Rahul is ready to crush this challenge ... But what if he discovers he isn't the best at anything?

Funny charming and incredibly touching this is a story about friendship family and the courage it takes to live your truth.
