Perfect Example

"Porcellino revisits the highest and lowest points of his last year of high school and the summer before he left his suburban Illinois home for college. The spare prose, from the characters themselves and in panels beneath their actions, reflects typical emotions of a 17-year-old boy--hope, despair, infatuation, confusion, certainty, and the thrill of risk taking, provided in this case by skateboards, adult-free houses, and illegal camping."--Booklist.
