by Michel Rabagliati Michel Rabagliati received praise and a 'Best New Talent' Harvey Award for his first published work in 2000 and now he returns with the eagerly awaited follow-up, Paul Has a Summer Job. This book continues the story of Paul, a Quebecois teenager in the late 1970s, as he experiences the first conflicts of responsibility with his desire to be free. Paul is outraged that he is forced to stop his high school art training. But he's been asked to put art aside because his other grades are so terribly low. Defiant, he quits school and anticipates a summer of leisure. But instead Paul follows the path of so many Quebecois teenagers: he lands a job as a counselor at one of the many summer camps in the mountains outside the city. There he finds himself guiding a motley band of kids, misfits, and troublemakers, much like himself. This clever and endearing story, told in Rabagliati's crisp, retro-1950s drawing style, promises to be one of the top new graphic novels of the year. SC, 7x10, 160pg, b&w |
