Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod
5.0
I received a review copy on NetGalley for an honest review.
A wonderfully illustrated graphic memoir by Kathy MacLeod. Kathy is Thai and American and lives in Thailand with her parents and older sister. Her father is American and her mother is Thai. Kathy feels suspended in both worlds. When Kathy and her family go to America Kathy is excited. She's going to summer camp for the first time and cannot wait to make new friends. Yet, when she gets there it's not exactly as she's planned. She feels like an outsider because she doesn't look like everyone else and neither does her family. The only thing that seems to help is writing in her diary. Can Kathy close the gap she feels being from two different worlds?
Readers will fall in love with Kathy's story and her storytelling abilities. Muted cool toned spreads helps show the anxiety that Kathy is feeling.
