Rose is always excited for summer. It means the lake house with her parents, but most importantly, it means she gets to spend the summer with her best friend Windy. This year, though - it's different. Rose's parents won't stop fighting and when she and Windy look for distractions, they find a whole new world. It's full of local teens-just a few years older than they are - and one of them is caught up in something very bad and very secret. Rose and Windy have to navigate the confusion, heartbreak, and hope that comes with being right on the edge of growing up.
In This One Summer, the Tamaki cousins weave a coming-of-age tale of girlhood, friendship, and nostalgia-for-right-now that has changed the landscape of graphic novels.
