Honor Girl: A Graphic Memoir

Honor Girl: A Graphic Memoir

All-girl camp. First love. First heartbreak. At once romantic and devastating, brutally honest and full of humor, this graphic-novel memoir is a debut of the rarest sort.

Maggie Thrash has spent basically every summer of her fifteen-year-old life at the one-hundred-year-old Camp Bellflower for Girls, set deep in the heart of Appalachia. Sheâ€™s from Atlanta, sheâ€™s never kissed a guy, sheâ€™s into Backstreet Boys in a really deep way, and her long summer days are full of a pleasant, peaceful nothing . . . until one confounding moment. A split-second of innocent physical contact pulls Maggie into a gut-twisting love for an older, wiser, and most surprising of all (at least to Maggie), female counselor named Erin. But Camp Bellflower is an impossible place for a girl to fall in love with another girl, and Maggieâ€™s savant-like proficiency at the campâ€™s rifle range is the only thing keeping her heart from exploding. When it seems as if Erin maybe feels the same way about Maggie, itâ€™s too much for both Maggie and Camp Bellflower to handle, let alone to understand.
