Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It's their getaway, their refuge. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening.

It's a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it's a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation.

This title has Common Core connections.

Rose is always excited for summer. It means the lake house with her parents, but most importantly, it means she gets to spend the summer with her best friend Windy. This year, though - it's different. Rose's parents won't stop fighting and when she and Windy look for distractions, they find a whole new world. It's full of local teens-just a few years older than they are - and one of them is caught up in something very bad and very secret. Rose and Windy have to navigate the confusion, heartbreak, and hope that comes with being right on the edge of growing up.
In This One Summer, the Tamaki cousins weave a coming-of-age tale of girlhood, friendship, and nostalgia-for-right-now that has changed the landscape of graphic novels.
