Someday Perfect

In this beautiful graphic novel, a teen is tested when she falls for another camper at a Christian sleepaway camp, sparking feelings she was taught to suppress. As she grapples with the rigid expectations of her faith, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that challenges her deepest beliefs.

Summer camp is supposed to be a place to find yourself, but when you're sent to a Christian sleepaway camp, that can be hard to do. Hemmed in by how she presents herself at school, and the expectations of her pastor father, Meg finds it hard to know just how she feels about herself... let alone how others feel about her.

When Meg runs into Danny, a soft and charming boy who also comes to the camp every summer, her feelings start to flourish. Unfortunately, with these feelings come questions. How is she supposed to fulfill the role she is supposed to play when her heart and her faith are both questioning?

This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel speaks to complexity of faith, while also exploring the power of first loves and the complicated feelings they can bring.
