I really liked this Graphic Novel. The art was done really well and the story becomes real and pops off the page. I liked the different friendships and how they evolved and changed. It is hard to move and make new discoveries and have to start over. I think this is a graphic novel that many teens or anyone who has faced the hardship of moving and starting over will find appealing and relatable. 

Thanks NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC!

I love Whitney Gardner! Fans of Fake Blood will not be disappointed by her newest middle grade graphic novel, Long Distance. Long Distance tells the story of Vega, a young girl whose just been uprooted from her home and best friend, during the summer! Talk about a terrible time to move. In an effort to help Vega adjust to her new home in Seattle, her dads send her to camp. Vega's reluctant to make new friends and the camp is pretty weird. She keeps trying to contact her BFF Halley, but there's no reception. Vega teams up with three other guests and tries to figure out what's really going on. This graphic novel tackles friendship and adjusting to change in an out of this world way.

This book was fine.  I had a number of questions at first, and they did all get answered, but I still don't know that it came together overall for me/

Vega's dad gets a new job and moves the family from Portland to Seattle. Vega is unhappy about this because this moves her away from her best friend. To make things worse, her dads insist on sending her to a summer camp that promises to help her make friends. When she arrives at camp, it soon becomes apparent that something is off. The food is awful, the counselors are weird, and the boy on the brochure, George, keeps changing his look and skills. Ironically, the camp does end up helping Vega make friends, just not in the way she was expecting.
