Cramming is a semi-autobiographical debut middle-grade graphic novel by creator Brigitta Blair, which has been auctioned to Little Brown. The book is about the pressures faced by Ari Sharpe and her friends in eighth grade, including scoliosis bracing, school, sports, gender exploration, and the gift of learning to be at peace in your body. It is pitched as a book for readers of Swim Team and The Tryout.
In December, Brigitta posted on Instagram that “Cramming” won second place (out of 88 entries) in the Kids Comics Unite pitch fest. She mentions that scoliosis has had a huge impact on her family, and even though she can no longer do the sports she used to love, life is wonderful. The restrictions have opened up opportunities like writing this book that she hopes will help others.
Jessica Anderson at Little, Brown/Ottaviano won the auction and Cramming will now be published in the winter of 2027, with North American rights secured by Chelsea Eberly at Greenhouse Literary.
Brigitta Blair studied interactive design at American University in Washington DC and Niigata College in Japan. Her experiences with chronic pain, being queer, and mental health inspire her books. Currently, Brigitta works at Ubisoft as a UI Technical Artist while working on Cramming.
