This One Summer
by the Tamaki cousins
I enjoyed this 2014 graphic novel by the Tamaki cousins because of its visually appealing style as well as its seemingly mundane yet engaging plot.
This coming of age story focuses on a single summer shared between two friends named Rose and Windy, who are both young girls. They spend the summer together with family in a tiny beach town called Awago Beach. This graphic novel explores youth in a very personal way. It isn't glamorous or anything like many coming of age stories are often portrayed as. It deals with some tense events and themes that some teenagers and pre teens may have to face in real life.
