What We Are Reading
Here are some quotes from library staff about the books in the newest list of recommended picks:
This One Summer by Jillian & Mariko Tamaki: “A great graphic novel about growing up, spending the summer with friends you only see when school's out, navigating adolescence and parental disagreements, wanting to be considered an adult while still wanting to avoid adult responsibilities, and plain old summer fun. We've all been there, right? ;)”
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender: “The synopsis focuses on the love triangle and fake dating, but there is a lot of search for identity and self-discovery for this demiboy/transmac character.”
