A Hard Summer

This One Summer is a graphic novel done by two cousins, Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki.  It is super well illustrated and super well written.  It's a coming-of-age story, maybe?  Rose and her mom and dad always go to the lake over the summer and usually it is a good old time.  Rose hangs with her friend Windy who is a little bit younger than she is.  Getting older is hard.  This book is so well done, you can feel the pain of innocence lost.  Good stuff.
