An autobiographical graphic novel not set in the 90s? Sign me up!
How to Draw a Secret tells the story of Cindy, a Taiwanese American middle schooler hiding a big secret--her parents are separated, and her father has been living apart from the family since he moved back to Taiwan four years earlier. Cindy's mother insists on secrecy, so even Cindy's best friends don't know the truth about her family.
Cindy is assigned an art project with the prompt "What Family Means to Me" and struggles with what to create--how much of her truth should she reveal? When a death in the family causes a sudden reunion with her father in Taiwan, Cindy learns of an even bigger family secret.
+: This book holds great appeal to fans of books like Parachute Kids (a major favorite in my library). It is not set in the 90s! We love a contemporary graphic novel!
-: Some of the plotlines involving the older sisters feel somewhat under-developed.
Definitely will be purchasing, likely will need to purchase multiple copies.
