INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Viva, Frank

Sea Change

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Eliot spends a summer in Nova Scotia, where he befriends locals, encounters a bully, becomes aware of town politics, and struggles with what to do upon learning that his new sweetheart is being physically abused. Expressionistic illustrations in a limited palette are integral to the story and carry emotional heft. The mix of imagery, text, and design offers a fresh, moving reading experience.
