Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod

4.0

thanks to netgalley for an arc of this title in exchange for an honest review! macleod's graphic memoir can be enjoyed by young readers and adults alike, touching on feelings like loneliness, belonging, and growing up. young kathy's desire to bridge both of her ethnic identities is achieved in such a tender way, and the story, while quiet and nuanced, is very clear in what it's trying to tell. some parts felt a bit sparse for my taste--for example, it would have been nice to get a bit more about kathy's cousins, even just their names--but all in all, this was a sweet read that was very apparently a love letter to what "home" meant to the author as a girl.
