YA
In this novel based on John Allison's graphic-novel series, three unlikely friends--naive, homeschooled Daisy; jaded, sarcastic Susan; and privileged, goth-y Esther--lean on one another while navigating homesickness, past relationships, and fitting in during their freshman year at a British college. Humor and crazy antics (many involving a cult-like campus yoga club) blend with mystery and adventure to create a hilarious, heartwarming original story in the Giant Days universe.
