A warm and moving graphic novel that follows the life of Harriet, a very creative teen, and her isolating summer in the heat of Chicago. There is a friendship with a old lady next door named Pearl, a mysteriously locked room on the third floor, some letters to friends left unanswered, and most importantly, the love and support that a family can bring in time of hardship. It reads like a long summer, slowly, smoothly, with a deep attention to details and to ephemeral emotions. I highly recommend it.
Thank you NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
