It’s also where Windy, Rose’s “summer cottage friend since I was five” lives. Rose says, “My dad says Awago is a place where beer grows on trees and everyone can sleep in until eleven.” It’s magical. Rose and her family have been going to Awago Beach every summer since she can remember. ![]() Like everyone of my generation, I used to be a big fan of Archie and horror comics, but it’s only since I returned to the classroom that I have made it a point to read graphic novels – mostly because I do have students who enjoy them and I want to be sure that I include them in my classroom library. I can’t claim any real expertise when it comes to graphic novels, so I don’t really know what the criteria might be for determining what makes a graphic novel superior to others. This One Summer by cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki is a Governor General’s Literary Award winner in addition to being on several Best Of…lists. ![]()
