Paige Turner (I know, right? Her parents are writers...) has recently moved to NYC with her family, and is having trouble adjusting to a new school. Fitting in is difficult and connecting with her parents is just as hard. She lives in her own head most of the time, but is having trouble sorting through and understanding all of her thoughts. Paige starts to come into her own, and open up to others, when she explores her artistic side, following some rules on art (and possibly life) that her grandmother told her. 
 What a nifty book! I live in my own head a lot too, and it was fascinating to see this sort of thing happening in a character in a graphic novel. Gulledge does an excellent job at describing the many various ways Paige's inner feelings and thoughts express themselves. Flipping through the title again, I am just now realizing it's in black and white--I didn't miss the color at all, and normally I strongly prefer my graphic novels in color! 
 The art works in wonderful companionship with the narrative and story. I really felt like I got to know Paige. her triumphs were mine, and her challenges I fretted over. At its core, it's like this: (view spoiler)[ Girl moves, feels awkward, decides to develop her art. She makes some friends, she opens up to them, one of them becomes a boyfriend. She continues with her art, she learns more about herself, she even works on her relationship with her parents. Happy ending. (hide spoiler)] 
 I liked it. Even though the base story was somewhat standard, how it was told is unique, and worth a look.
