Skim

Tamaki, Mariko; Tamaki, Jillian
Skim is Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a 16 year old would-be Wiccan goth stuck in a private girls' school in Toronto. An outsider yearning for some form of acceptance, she begins a fanciful but short-lived romance with her English teacher, Ms. Archer. The novel combines beautiful artwork with the complexities and drama of teen life.

Depression, love, sexual identity, crushes, manipulative peers --teen life in all its dramatic complexities is explored in this touching, pitch-perfect, literary graphic masterpiece. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki collaborate brilliantly in this poignant glimpse into the heartache of being sixteen.
