A truly visual-forward collection. Instead of essays, writing takes the form of speech balloons inside of these lovely hand-drawn comics and cartoons. Meet talking fruits, gossiping girls, a dusty piano, and an underdog drummer.

From the publisher: “Like comics? Behind the Uniforms is a wildly creative collection of graphic stories by the students of Brooklyn's Academy of College Preparation and Career Exploration. these stories, truthful, sincere, at times incredibly funny, showcase the lives and imaginations of students who, at a young age, have something honest to say.”
