Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago
Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always
there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is
different. 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. One of the local teens - just a couple of
years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad...
Something life threatening.
It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good
thing Rose and Windy have each other.
This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from
two creators with true literary clout. 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.
