All Summer Long by Hope Larson

When Bina’s best friend Austin goes away to soccer camp, she strikes up a friendship with his older sister Charlie, sort of. Or is Charlie just using Bina because there’s nobody else around? And why is Austin not answering her texts?

This is an awesome feel-good story, which is unusual for this sort of adolescent angst storyline. To some, it might seem that it wraps up too neatly, but I think it will be super reassuring to kids going through the sorts of issues Bina is facing. Recommended to fans of graphic novels like Awkward, Drama, and Roller Girl.
