90s culture. Sassiness. Sarcasm. Canadian. Graphic Novel.

Elodie gets forced by her Mother to work as a camp counselor over the summer and it is NOT what she wanted to do. This gothic delight loves Nirvana and rock bands, but instead is being forced to deal with people she didn't want to see (yuck, schoolmates... popular and NERDY school mates...) and munchkins.

Arrows are shot at everyone, and the fallout is hilarious. The kids swear and taunt Elodie, and it's hysterical. Star Wars and Nirvana references were stellar! LGBT characters gets this book bonus points! The magical fantasy element? WILD! There's just so many good parts in this book, including the little sassy red heads. Also: Canada represent!

It's like this book was MADE for me! Elodie is super sassy and sarcastic, and has a wicked inner voice. She could say mean things, but instead she'll pat those losers on the head and let them do their thing. Oh man, do I love her! I relate way too hard! On top of that, the kids are talking about sex and asking awfully hilarious questions (which totally is what camps do, I've worked at them - kids are crazy) and that makes this book more PG-13 and R rated. Oh the giggles I had reading what some of these kids had to ask and say...

To top it off, the art is colourful and cartoon-y. I totally dug every part of the illustrations in this book. The tone of the book and the fun of the art style really gave this book the extra 'umph' to top my graphic novels list!

Overall, this is a must read from this blogger/reviewer! I 100% love this book and highly recommend it. It's wild and fun and super sassy!

Five out of five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for giving me the opportunity to pick up this epic book! Keep up the great work!… (altro)
