Skim
By Mariko Tamaki
Illustrated by Jillian Tamakie
Internationally acclaimed, this funny and poignant graphic novel is the next "Ghost World".
After a boy at school takes his own life, teen-witch Skim's fragile world seems to topple and turn upside down too. In witty, moving and painfully honest diary entries Skim confides the frenzy of grief that surrounds her, while deep down she struggles with her own loneliness and the secret inner stirrings she feels when falling in love for the first time.
- "An auspicious graphic novel debut." Publishers Weekly
- "With honesty and compassion, this innovative narrative communicates a life just beginning, open and full of possibility." Horn Book Magazine
