Evening all!

Happy Wednesday, happy half of the week, and welcome to a new Waiting on Wednesday! Today I am eagerly waiting Cassandra Calin’s debut graphic novel called The New Girl!

I have been following Cassandra Calin for a while now and I love LOVE LOVE her Cassandra Comics on Tapas, so I am very very curious about something that is different from her usual style but still very recognisable as hers. Plus, a whole graphic novel. A whole story instead of short bits about life. I am so hyped. And the story sounds so good, about a girl from Romania immigrating to a whole different continent and see how she settles, finds her way in this new place, hopefully makes friends, and more. I also love that it is inspired by Cassandra’s own experience.

All in all, can it be June 4th already? And let Amazon cooperate this time. Please! 🙏🤞

Instagram sensation and Tapas webcomic superstar Cassandra Calin makes her long-form debut with this funny, feel-good middle-grade graphic novel about change.

Goodbye, old life…

Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight across the Atlantic, leaving behind family, friends, and Romania — the only home Lia has ever known. But Lia’s heartache is overshadowed by the discomfort of her first period. As if things weren’t difficult enough! Now Lia is thrust into a world where everything is her home, her language, and even her body. With so many changes happening at once, Lia struggles with schoolwork, has trouble communicating with classmates, and has no idea how to manage her unpleasant periods. Will she ever feel like herself again?

Inspired by the author’s own immigration experience, The New Girl is a comically charming story about change and acceptance.
