Right before Jade is about to leave for a summer art intensive, her best friend, Phoebe, attempts suicide. How is Jade supposed to focus on herself right now?
But at the Art Farm, Jade has artistic opportunities she’s been waiting for her whole life. And as she gets to know her classmates, she begins to fall for whimsical, upbeat, comfortable-in-her-own-skin Mary. Jade pours herself into making ceramic monsters that vent her stress and insecurities, but when she puts her creatures in the kiln, something unreal happens: they come to life. And they’re taking a stand: if Jade won’t confront her problems, her problems are going to confront her, including the scariest of them all—if Jade grows, prospers, and even falls in love this summer, is she leaving Phoebe behind?

My Review: This graphic novel was so perfect for me. I loved all the artwork and it was so full with so many pages! So many of these graphic novels are short so I loved that this one was long. I do wish that it would have been in full color as I think that it would have just made it better. But this was still a fun read and I can not wait to get a finished copy of it. I thank Algonquin for this one!
