Description
The whole Almost Summer gang is back to take on the biggest challenge it has ever faced : the final year of high school. The third chapter in this four parts series features such dramatic events as Matthew refusing to take off his hat for the graduation picture, washing his hair for the first time in forever and finally asking Naomi out! Otherwise, it's business as usual for Emily, Anthony and Michelle - which means they are bored, don't really know what they want out of life and don't really care either. They're still typical teenagers and nothing, not even the fact that their lives are about to change forever, is ever going to change that.
About the authors
Sophie Bédard completed studies in graphic design before launching her breakthrough webcomic Almost Summer at just 19 years old. She then went on to earn a BA in sexology prior to starting Lonely Boys, winner of the Doug Wright Award for Best Book in 2021. She lives in Montreal with her cat Jacques and hopes that obtaining a degree will not become a prerequisite for every new book she writes. She often posts comics and illustrations on her tumblr page: jairiencompris.tumblr.com
Helge Dascher has for 25 years translated texts with a dynamic relationship to images. A background in art history and literature has grounded her translation of over sixty graphic novels, many by artists who have broadened the medium's storytelling range. Her translations included acclaimed titles such as Julie Delporte's This Woman's Work (co-translated with Aleshia Jensen, Drawn and Quarterly, 2019), Sophie Bédard's Lonely Boys (co-translated with Robin Lang, Pow Pow Press, 2020) and Michel Rabagliati's "Paul" books (Drawn and Quarterly, Conundrum). She also translates exhibitions, digital stories, and films, most recently Theodor Ushev's The Physics of Sorrow (with Karen Houle, NFB, 2019). A Montrealer, she works from French and German to English.
