Description
Publishers Weekly BEST Books for Summer 2016
"Sea Change is like a dip in cold Canadian waters: just step inside, and soon you're completely swept away, finding yourself overwhelmed and breathless, entranced by this whirlwind of a book. Bravo, Frank Viva. And glub, glub, glub." - Lemony Snicket, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events
"Truly heartbreaking! Viva ingeniously weaves words and pictures to evoke that strange, wonderful moment - when the very worst experience of your life somehow becomes the very best." - Chip Kidd, author of Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts
One summer can change your whole life. As soon as school lets out, Eliot's parents send him to the very edge of the world: a fishing village in a remote part of Nova Scotia. And what does the small town of Point Aconi have to offer? Maggots, bullies and grumpy old men. But along the way, Eliot discovers much more—a hidden library, starry nights and a mysterious girl named Mary Beth. See Point Aconi through Eliot's eyes, as he finds that this place he never wanted to visit is becoming a home he doesn't want to leave.
Advance Praise
"The unconventional format of this funny, poignant coming-of-age story will appeal to fans of comics and graphic novels." --School Library Journal
"Eliot matures in a gradual, authentic way, with small bursts of new insight and a whole bunch of goofing-off time." --Bulletin of the Center for Child Books
"With limited colors (blue, black, cream, and a vivid pink) Viva's expressionistic illustrations, which are integral to the story and appear throughout as spot art and full pages, carry emotional heft." --Horn Book Magazine
