Skim

By Mariko Tamaki, illustrated by Jillian Tamaki

This is a graphic novel about Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a.k.a. "Skim."

Skim goes to a girls' academy in Toronto. She's a bit goth, a bit Wiccan, a bit more than slim, and all teenager.

After a suicide, the school's in mourning, but Skim falls in love - and then falls into confusion when the object of her affection (a female teacher!) suddenly leaves the school.

Now Skim has to deal with friends, cliques, crushes... and "real" life.
