Picture
Eliza Mirk doesnt' like to speak. She dresses like a homeless person and doesn't really enjoy school. Once home, however, she is Lady Constellation, the author of the wildly popular Monstrous Sea web comic. She spends hours in her room, creating her comic, writing forum posts and ignoring comments. She barely tolerates her family and can't wait to graduate from high school.Then she meets Wallace. 
The story starts off slowly, and includes a story within a story with panels and drawings from her web comic. Eliza suffers from anxiety and doesn't realize it. The anxiety is portrayed in such a real way, that you can feel her worry and see her body language. As she opens herself up to Wallace, her world view shifts and she begins to question the last several years of her life. A beautifully told story, with great characters. Recommended for grades 8 and up.
