BROWNSTONE written by Samuel Teer, illustrated by Mar Julia

BROWNSTONE, the Printz-winning graphic novel written by Samuel Teer and illustrated by Mar Julia, begins as Almudena prepares for a summer alone without responsibility for her mother. While she fights for staying alone, her mother leaves her with Xavier, a Guatemalan father whom she’s never met, speaks rapid Spanish when she doesn’t know the language, and expects her help in renovating a Brownstone in a Latinex neighborhood. Transition is rough and both author and illustrator excel at emotive content, dramatic situations, and the gradual rebuilding of a home and family.
