A review by ehmannky
Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol

emotional lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

What a delightful, funny, kind of sad, and excellent graphic novel. This book is a mishmash of Brosgol's two summers at summer camp, with her picking out the highlights and pushing them into one streamlined narrative. Brosgol deals with the struggles of growing up as an immigrant and being the odd one out, even in her own community. It's also just hilarious to see little Vera deal with being at a summer camp where the stakes are so low and yet so high.
