Great Graphic Novel!
I came across this book a few weeks ago and am thrilled I did! The book is such a page turner and the drawings are so colorful and vibrant. I enjoyed reading the backstories of the characters, they were all diverse. Also loved the descriptions of the setting, it reminded me of Bar Harbor in Maine.
