After a boy at school takes his own life, teen-witch Skim's fragile world seems to topple and turn upside down too. In witty, moving and painfully honest diary entries Skim confides the frenzy of grief that surrounds her, while deep down she struggles with her own loneliness and the secret inner stirrings she feels when falling in love for the first time.

Review:

"A funny, poignant, memorable drama of navigating adolescence." Quill & Quire * "An auspicious graphic novel debut." Publishers Weekly * "Writer Mariko and artist Jillian stunningly intertwine their acute dialogues and visual riches in brush, soft pencil and grey tones, illuminating this adolescent romance in all its conflicted depths. The most sophisticated and sensitive North American graphic novel debut of the year." Paul Gravett * "With honesty and compassion, this innovative narrative communicates a life just beginning, open and full of possibility." Horn Book Magazine" --Paul Gravett
