A standout graphic novel debut about a boy whose parents unexpectedly divorce, perfect for fans of Stepping Stones, Allergic, and Twins. When Galen’s parents reveal that they’re splitting up, his life is thrown into chaos. He knows he shouldn’t like his dad’s home-wrecker girlfriend, Jasmine, but she isn’t a jerk like he expected. Then his mom brings home a new boyfriend—and his teenage daughter! To top it off, Galen’s friend Kyle has inexplicably become really mean. To process these confusing emotions, Galen and his best friend, Luna, decide to make a documentary movie all about his parents' divorce. But will the reel life of filmmaking help Galen face his real life?
