What: The mostly autobiographical graphic novel Be Prepared is all about summer camp, but the tone might be different than you'd expect. It's funny, but not goofy. It's emotional coming-of-age, but not wistful or saccharine. It's painfully realistic about how monstrous preteens can be, but it doesn't revel in the cringe.
There's also a great real-life reveal at the end that tilts the full experience a bit.
Comparable to: Vera Brosgol is also the author of the award-winning graphic novel Anya's Ghost.
