![]() ![]() ![]() It’s rare to find a book that so expertly handles such deep subject matter. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation. Brisk but not brief, emotional but never melodramatic, This One Summer is so much more than just another graphic novel. This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. ![]()
