This One Summer/ Mariko Tamaki/ 317 pages

This was a sweet book about a girl named Rose and her friend, Windy.  They see each other every summer at the beach houses their parents rent in the same small town. I don't know if teens will feel the same sympathy as a parent towards the mom in this book.  But, maybe the end will help them to relate?  Rose's mom is sad and desperately wants another child.  You can see how this affects Rose and her relationship with her parents.  But, there are also things going on with "townie" boys and normal teen drama.  A sweet read, not my all time favorite realistic graphic novel, but still good.
