WHEN GALEN'S PARENTS SPLIT UP, HIS LIFE IS THROWN OFF-BALANCE.
Suddenly, he's living in two houses at once, his dad's weird girlfriend Jasmine is moving in, and he even has a sort-of stepsister! To make matters worse, his friend Kyle has suddenly become mysteriously mean.
To process these confusing emotions, Galen and his best friend Luna decide to make a documentary movie about his parents' divorce.
Can the reel life of filmmaking help Galen face his real life?
From debut author-illustrator Kane Lynch comes a nuanced and deeply empathetic story about the messy, awkward, and sometimes funny dilemmas that result from evolving families and friendships.
"Reel-y relatable and compelling. Lynch’s evocative graphic novel debut sagely captures the angst and unease of early adolescence." --Kirkus Reviews
"This thoughtful and accessible comic excellently explores the complicated feelings that are art of divorce and shines light on both the highs and lows of the experience." --Booklist
"A thoughtful drama with richly drawn characters, and a meaningful exercise in empathy for young readers." -- School Library Journal
"Grounded and accessible...Lynch expertly juggles subplots in the many nuanced aspects of Galen's uprooted life to create a fictional narrative of divorce that nonetheless feels raw, particularly in the realistic dialogue." -Good Comics for Kids
