About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about your own past, or when they are navigating the messy complexities of blended families and life after divorce. It is an ideal bridge for the middle-grade reader who is outgrowing simple stories but still needs a relatable, humorous anchor to process heavy emotions. In this volume, Amelia discovers a box of old photographs that reveals the secret, rebellious, and deeply human histories of the adults in her life. The story balances lighthearted friendship with poignant reflections on how our family history shapes who we are. It is a sophisticated yet accessible graphic novel that validates the feeling of being caught between childhood and the teenage years, offering a roadmap for understanding that parents were once kids, too.
