Official synopsis Publisher
“I want to recommend this book to everyone.”
—Jen Wang, author of Ash’s Cabin
Poignant and empathic, Rhiannon is a coming-of-age graphic novel in the vein of This One Summer.
Ever since she was little, Rhiannon has lived with her aunt in a sleepy, sun-drenched trailer park called the Golden Canyon Retirement Community. Growing up among senior citizens, Rhia is usually the only kid around—except during the summer. That’s when her best friend, Kit, comes for a long visit.
This summer, something has changed. Rhiannon and Kit’s easy friendship is no longer easy. Even worse, there’s a new teenager in the park—Elizabeth. She’s the polar opposite of Rhiannon: hip, confident, and a bit of a troublemaker. And Elizabeth has a secret that will put Rhiannon and Kit’s friendship to the test.
