This One Summer
by Mariko Tamaki, Jillian Tamaki, 320 pgs.
Every summer, Rose goes to Aswego Beach with her family. While there, she gets to spend time with her best friend, Windy, and the two share a sister-like bond. One particular summer, Rose begins to notice her parents arguing -- something that has never happened before. At the same time, she and Windy get wrapped up in some drama between a group of local teens. Rose struggles with some internalized sexism, which tests her friendship with progressively-minded Windy.
This One Summer is an engaging story, and the illustrations are sweeping and beautifully done.
