YA
At camp, Abby tries to fit in with cool girls Zoë and Beth. Friendship dynamics change when Shasta, a girl who claims she was hit by lightning, becomes Abby's bunkmate. In this graphic novel, the action can be hard to trace, jumping between real and possibly imagined events. The black-and-white ink panel drawings effectively display the wide-ranging emotions of the middle-school characters.
