   Youth: Personal Values (142) No current Talk conversations about this book.  unsoluble | Oct 7, 2024 |   a sweet story, with beautiful, kid-friendly illustrations and lovingly rendered memories to sort of help one forget the less fun parts of being a middleschooler. I also loved the backstory with Dan's mom, suffering from lupus-related exhaustion most of the time, wanting her son to experience Europe when she can no longer travel easily. p.s. the QR code under the mix tape illustration on the dedication page leads here (spotify login required to listen) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2qOWv0cDfGU2wwfDU7XtHT?si=ab11283a9dc14aaa (  ) reader1009 | Aug 21, 2024 | Told in a graphic novel format, this book is a very easy read. Often humorous, it is a real look at a young man coming of age. I loved it! (  ) rmarcin | Aug 10, 2024 |  ) ZetaRiemann | May 31, 2024 | ) jennybeast | Apr 25, 2024 | no reviews | add a review

"A middle grade graphic memoir based on bestselling author and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's awkward middle school years and the trip to Europe that changed his life. Dan's always been a good kid. The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid doesn't stop him from being bullied and feeling like he's invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents send him on a class trip to Europe. At first, he's right. He's stuck with the same girls from his middle school who love to make fun of him, and he doesn't know why his teacher insisted he come on this trip. But as he travels through France, Germany, Switzerland, and England, a series of first experiences begin to change him--first Fanta, first fondue, first time stealing a bike from German punk rockers... and first love. Funny, heartwarming, and poignant, A First Time for Everything is a feel-good coming-of-age memoir based on New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat's awkward middle school years. It celebrates a time that is universally challenging for many of us, but also life-changing as well."-- No library descriptions found. |
