be prepared

Verusik (aka Vera) is excited to go to Russian summer camp, where she feels she’ll finally fit in.  But nothing prepares her for the fact that her tentmates are five years older than her, and there’s no electricity and...no plumbing.  It’s going to be a long two weeks.  Brilliant writing, incredible art and very real moments of trying to fit in and figure things out.  This is our first book by Vera Brosgol and we’re blown away — she’s truly a master of her craft.

Be Prepared was written and illustrated by Vera Brosgol and published by First Second Books.
