But Austin&#8217;s unexpected announcement that he&#8217;s going off to a competitive soccer camp for a month is news that&#8217;s &#8220;gonna ruin [their] Fun Index,&#8221; Bina laments. Austin&#8217;s reaction to skipping their unique method of keeping track of summer adventures which they&#8217;ve done for the past five years is surprisingly dismissive: &#8220;we&#8217;re thirteen. Even if I wasn&#8217;t going to camp, we&#8217;re too old for that stuff.&#8221; Ouch.<\/p>\n<p>Being left behind turns into way too much TV for Bina (she even picks up a fake English accent binge-ing on\u00a0<em>British Teen Private Eye<\/em>). When her parents turn off &#8220;InfiniFlix,&#8221; Bina&#8217;s forced to find other means of amusement. Austin&#8217;s cool older sister Charlie proves to be a temporary distraction, but the 16-year-old is a bit too self-absorbed to be reliable company. Worst of all, Bina can&#8217;t even get Austin to reply to her texts. What Bina does have is her music\u00a0\u2013 that is, discovering and even making her own.\u00a0By the time Austin returns home, Bina&#8217;s not quite sure where their relationship stands: the lifelong friends\u00a0will need to figure out how to navigate their BFF-ship through diverging interests, new alliances, and unavoidable adolescence.<\/p>\n<p>Bestselling Ignatz and Eisner-winning creator Hope Larson presents messy middle-grade milestones with all its bittersweet angst, newfound courage, and burgeoning independence. Her casually diverse world is especially inclusive. She draws Bina in a darker hue than Austin, giving her a name that could be Italian, Hebrew, Scandinavian, African, and more. Bina is clearly multi-racial, her parents of different ethnic backgrounds. One older brother has a ex-girlfriend with a Japanese name. The other older brother is married to a man and the couple has just been approved to adopt.<\/p>\n<p>Presented in black, white, and hues of orange peach, Larson&#8217;s warm panels will quickly pull readers in. That\u00a0<em>Summer\u00a0<\/em>is the first installment\u00a0of a planned trilogy should have audiences eagerly looking forward to more changing, growing seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Middle Grade<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last day of seventh grade for two best-friends-since-babyhood should be\u00a0a day of jubilant celebration.
