Wonderful for young female teenagers. ( ) Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki’s This One Summer follows Rose Wallace and her family as they travel to Awago Beach for their annual summer vacation. Rose hangs out with her friend Windy, whose mother and grandmother rent a nearby cabin. The summer is told from the experience of two young girls, not quite in middle school, who have some ideas about the adult world from what they’ve seen and heard but are also in a transitional phase of their lives. Rose’s parents argue due to unspoken pain amid their inability have a second child, while Windy acts childish and knows far too much about the adult world. Horror movie rentals, local gossip, and beach trips mark their time while the world heaves around them. The Tamakis’ artwork and story perfectly capture a time all-too-familiar for their readers in a moving tale. no reviews | add a review

Rose and her parents have been going to Awago Beach since she was a little girl. It's her summer getaway, her refuge. Her friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had, completing her summer family. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and Rose and Windy have gotten tangled up in a tragedy-in-the-making in the small town of Awago Beach. It's a summer of secrets and heartache, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other. No library descriptions found.
