Paul Has a Summer Job by Michel Rabagliati
Michael Rabagliati's first published work in 2000 Paul In The Country earned him a Best New Talent Harvey Award and he now returns with the eagerly-awaited follow-up, PAUL HAS A SUMMER JOB. This book continues the story of Paul, a teenager from Quebec 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. He's been asked to put art aside because his other grades are too low. Defiant, he quits school and lands a job as a counselor at a summer camp in the mountains outside the city. There, he finds himself guiding a motley band of kids: misfits, loners, and troublemakers. Kids 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.
"Rabagliati's briskly-paced story brims with quirky touches..a minor chord masterpiece." - Entertainment Weekly "Rabagliati lovingly develops these snapshots of childhood memories and a bygone era using comic strip panels as if they were polaroids." - Print Magazine
