Week Twelve - Comics by Women
For week twelve I read the graphic novel by the Tamaki Cousins, This One Summer. It was an enjoyable read with beautifully detailed illustrations, and focused on the summer antics of two young girls. There were some darker and more coming of age themes throughout the story, however, and the cousins did an excellent job depicting the awkward transition between childhood and the teenage years, as well as portraying tensions within the main protagonists family.
