Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod

4.0

Trying to find your place in the world…what kid or adult doesn’t go through this? Kathy, who is half Thai/half American is just trying to figure out where she belongs. Is she more American than Thai or vice versa? She travels with her family back to her father’s home town in Maine with the hopes of discovering where she belongs. The discomfort she has about how her family may be perceived by others comes across in both the dialogue and the illustrations. This graphic novel memoir was a solid representation of a bi-racial/bi-cultural AAPI tween trying to navigate to very different worlds. Thank you NetGalley for the e-ARC.
