![]() ![]() With everything around them falling apart, Margot and Haruko find solace in their growing, secret friendship. And Margot is doing everything she can to keep her family whole as her mother's health deteriorates and her rational, patriotic father becomes a man who distrusts America and fraternizes with Nazis. Haruko finds herself consumed by fear for her soldier brother and distrust of her father, who she knows is keeping something from her. The teens discover that they are polar opposites in so many ways, except for one that seems to override all the others: the camp is changing them, day by day and piece by piece. ![]() Haruko and Margot meet at the high school in Crystal City, a "family internment camp" for those accused of colluding with the enemy. The war seemed far away from Margot in Iowa and Haruko in Colorado-until they were uprooted to dusty Texas, all because of the places their parents once called home: Germany and Japan. It's 1944, and World War II is raging across Europe and the Pacific.

The sisters are snotty, the mothers are overbearing, the fathers are foolish, but isn’t that messiness the very meaning of family? Visually, Paola delights in contrast: areas of heavy texture (hair, floorboards, fabric) are set against empty, open shapes. En Virus Tropical, Paola Gaviria, o Powerpaola, indaga a través de viñetas en la sencilla complejidad de su vida familiar, convirtiendo su propia experiencia en una historia capaz de generar reflexiones en sus lectores.

The members steal one another’s chocolate, move to Colombia from Ecuador, pierce their ears, and sob along to telenovelas. Powerpaola’s family is a frayed patchwork of tension and love in this debut from the Colombian-Ecuadorian cartoonist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. The more unacceptable the men, the better. ![]() Translation: She’s going to embark on a string of one-night stands. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too.

The work in this book is not only a portrait of a place, but a portrait of us.” What the Sierra contains within its boundaries is a statement not only about the physical beauty of North America, but an accounting of how this nation wants and chooses to see itself.

This version, however, imagines something grander via artist Cole Sternberg’s re-visualization and design. Muir’s heartfelt and often humorous descriptions of his first summer spent in the Sierra will captivate and inspire long-time fans and novice naturalists alike.
