No Such Thing as Perfect by Misako Rocks!

Emma can't help comparing herself to her bright and popular older sister,
Julia. Try as she might, Emma can't seem to please her mom as much as her
sister does.
The more Emma measures herself alongside Julia and others, the more
pressure she feels to try to change. But trying to be as good as everyone else
at everything is exhausting and frustrating.
With help from her friends and basketball teammates, as well as Lexi, the
French bulldog she's dogsitting, Emma realizes that there's no such thing as
perfect" - and it feels better to be true to herself, instead of trying to please
others. But will other people, especially her mom, understand that Emma may
not excel at the same things as her sister?

Rock and Roll Love, which was featured on the New York Public Library's Best
Books for Teens List. Outside of the U.S., she has published several books in
Japan, including How to Learn English with Misako's Method . She teaches
manga drawing classes at numerous middle schools in New York City, as well
