This sequel to Drawing from Memory takes fifteen-year-old Allen to Glendora, California. He's first enrolled in a military academy, then, happily, in a regular school, taking classes at an L.A. art institute and working part-time in a printing shop. Throughout, he's accompanied by scapegrace comic-strip alter ego Kyusuke. The illustrations are a pleasing combination of neat and nimble watercolor cartoon panels and black-and-white sketches.
