This memoir perfectly depicts the insecurity every preteen and teen feels, but also speaks directly to people who have struggled to find the balance between two cultures / ethnicities they belong to and how being seen as more than one thing can make you feel that you’re not enough of anything. I already have students in mind that I would love to get this book to.

I'm loving these graphic novel memoirs. I think that this puts an amazing touch on nonfiction and it'll make children want to read nonfiction more. I could see my patrons loving this book and it will definitely be flying off the shelves once it's published.

I really liked Kathy’s journey in this book. It highlights the struggles of a lot of bicultural/biracial kids. The illustrations are fun and I enjoyed the family photos at the end.

One of my favorite type of books to read are memoirs in graphic format and this one is superb. Kathy MacLeod, the author/illustrator, uses words and illustrations which perfectly match the story. She took two years to create this gem of a book. She looks back on being eleven years old when she was a “continental drifter” with her family living part time in Maine where her father was from and the rest of the year in Bangkok, Thailand where her mother was from. Readers get a peek at what it was like for her to grow up with two different cultures never feeling completely at ease in either one. The photographs at the end make for a beautiful ending to this memoir.
