(1) 4-6 Color by Alec Longstreth. Brosgol's fictionalized graphic memoir captures the ups and downs of Russian American preteen Vera's stint at a Russian Orthodox summer camp. She struggles with strict rules, lack of modern conveniences, and drama involving her older tentmates. The tone is accessible, vulnerable, and hilariously kid-centric. A monochromatic army-green palette reinforces the natural setting in the smartly paced panels, and a cliffhanger ending hints at a possible sequel.
