Interesting and moody graphic novel about three teens who spend (at least) the summer living with their elderly relatives in the Golden Canyon Retirement Community trailer park. Two are summer visitors to their respective grandmothers, while the eponymous Rhiannon is a year round resident. Rhiannon is subject to ongoing bullying from the local teens that never quite makes sense, but a mild TW is probably worth offering. TW for teen pregnancy and lost pregnancies as well

Good coming-of-age graphic novel. There was a lot of teen angst and emotions to keep the pages turning and the characters were just quirky enough to be interesting.

I really couldn't get into this one. It felt like it jumped around a bit too much. It made sense that the main character felt that she was having "elderly" medical issues because it's all she knew....but the coyote felt like an extra that wasn't needed and some of the characters aren't built up enough.

Kira Brinkman's "Rhiannon" was a sweet coming-of-age story that dealt with tough topics, new and old friendships, and multi-generational family dynamics. I adored the story being set in a retirement community and how the teenagers interacted with each other, but also with their grandparents / guardians. I will definitely be purchasing a copy for my library! Thanks for the ARC!

Rhiannon is a coming of age graphic novel that deals with a lot of teenage angst. Between first loves, pregnancy, and finding oneself, this novel has it all. I would recommend for those looking for a graphic novel that actually deals with real life teen stuff. Even for those of us that are well past our teen years, we can appreciate the struggles.
