What-a-Downer Camp

Eleven-year-old Nhia “Silver” Lee is heading on a summer holiday camping trip. Unfortunately, she’s packing her nerves along for the trip. Can she build a fire? Will she be able to fall asleep in a tent? And what if the other campers don’t like her? Nhia will need to overcome her own self-doubt if she is to make the camping experience less of a total downer. Written by Sheelue Yang, this graphic novel is a darkly humorous, normalizing exploration of coming-of-age anxiety through the lens of an authentic pre-teen girl.
