Booklist’s starred review calls it wistful, touching, and perfectly bittersweet.

Printz Honor for outstanding teen book in 2015. 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 One Summer is a critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling graphic novel that received a Caldecott Honor for illustration and a Michael A. This One Summer is a tremendously exciting new teen graphic novel from two creators with true literary clout. Banned General attack as a Caldecott Honor as the book is targeted at 12 and up and Caldecott books are targeted lower. 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 by Mariko Tamaki ST Harker Download A book that in no way follows the plot of Three Men and a Baby (which is crazy) but was banned from a bunch of places. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad. Author Mariko Tamaki and illustrator Jillian Tamaki (who are cousins) are perfectly attuned to each other, with the expressive blue-washed artwork conveying both the unfocused energy of the protagonists and the subtlety of their story. 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. THIS ONE SUMMER perfectly captures the awkward transition from childhood to adolescence.

Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach.
