Rose, a bit older, has knowledge and polish that tubby, still-childish Windy lacks, and Windy sometimes bores her. Rose and Windy, friends for two weeks every summer in nearby Ontario lake cottages, have hit early adolescence. 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. 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. ![]()
