Where my family goes every summer. Ever since &#8230; like &#8230; forever,&#8221; Rose explains as the graphic\u00a0novel\u00a0begins. As soon as she arrives with her parents and\u00a0dumps her suitcase, she goes in search of her &#8220;summer cottage friend,&#8221; Windy, who will be her constant companion on the beach, at the single\u00a0sundries\u00a0store, in front of the screen watching rented scary movies, and more. Windy&#8217;s house is often a refuge from the tension and bitter words Rose&#8217;s\u00a0parents lob at one another\u00a0\u2013 her mother is distant and withdrawn, her father angry and confused, and Rose caught somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>But this one summer, high drama is also happening in the tiny waterside village among the local teenagers. Rose, who is a year-and-a-half older than Windy, listens closely when she can and learns that Dunc and Jenny are a couple, that a pregnancy might be someone&#8217;s unwanted reality. She tries out new words like &#8216;drunks&#8217; and\u00a0&#8216;sluts,&#8217; and is duly disciplined by surprised mothers. As her parents&#8217; relationship becomes more tenuous, Rose pushes away from her childhood toward new\u00a0adolescent angst, fears, and shattering discoveries. Life after\u00a0<i>This One Summer<\/i>\u00a0&#8216;since &#8230; like &#8230; forever&#8217; &#8230; will never be the same again.<\/p>\n<p>Rose is a wide-eyed\u00a0narrator,\u00a0approaching adolescence with cautious wariness as she navigates through the troubled relationships around her, between young\u00a0lovers\u00a0who are just a few years older to\u00a0parents who were\u00a0supposed to stay together forever.\u00a0The Tamaki cousins are undoubtedly\u00a0two for two, once more capturing the uncertainty and doubt of growing up and pulling away, of knowing too much and not nearly enough.\u00a0Given their hit record, their third time should be quite the charm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Middle Grade, Young Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian cousins Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki\u2019s first collaboration,\u00a0Skim, won enough major awards\u00a0to make their second title\u00a0an\u00a0eagerly anticipated\u00a0publishing event.
