DENNIVENIQUITY GN (C: 0-1-0)

Description

A candid and personal exploration of junior high in the 1970s, with enough vulnerability to make readers squirm, laugh, and maybe even fall in love (but only for now). From awkward first kisses to changing bodies with an agenda all their own, puberty is not for the faint of heart. But hitting puberty in a small Canadian city where your father knows everyone and your on-again-off-again boyfriend quite literally lives on 'the wrong side of the tracks'? That comes with an extra set of super-charged emotions and embarrassing moments-and Dawn is no stranger to any of it. For this coming-of-age graphic memoir, Boyd mined her old diaries and brought her 1970s teen years back to life, rekindling the excitement, joy, and anguish of these formative life experiences.
