![]() I want to congratulate Skim I was way past sixteen when I realized this stuff. As Skim slouches to adulthood, she learns that high school’s hothouse friendships can bloom and wither overnight, that adults aren’t always to be relied upon, and that love is a confusing but splendiferous thing. ![]() But things shake up in school when a popular girl’s boyfriend commits suicide (perhaps because he was gay), and when Skim finds herself attracted to Ms. As you’ve probably guessed by now, she has few friends. Skim is half-Asian, chubby, interested in the occult arts, and believes that her school is a “goldfish tank of stupid”. Skim is a graphic novel featuring Kimberly Keiko Cameron (aka Skim), a sixteen-year-old navigating the high school jungle with a characteristic mix of apathy and intensity. ![]() ![]() John at The Book Mine Set has asked bloggers to review Canadian books with a Japanese connection if more than 10 books are reviewed this month, he’ll donate $200 to the Red Cross for their Japan earthquake relief efforts. ![]()
