Paige's family has just moved to New York city, and she's not so happy about it. She buys a sketch book to help her practice drawing and to make her into a new "Paige". Through meeting new friends, opening up her heart, and sharing her art work with the city around her, this 16 year old is a road map to the confused feelings and frustrations of a teenager.
Marketed towards the teen years, this book is absolutely brilliant. An English teacher could go crazy with the stunning imagery of the book and the realness of the characters. If you only read one teen graphic novel this year, it should be this one!
Book Count: 3 read, 197 to go...
