Be prepared

"Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is such a good cartoonist I almost can’t stand it.” —Raina Telgemeier, author of Smile In Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is fit in—but that’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price range—Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she's found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the "cool girl" drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!

Be Prepared

A wry and funny modern folktale about one grandma's epic quest to finish her knitting, from Anya's Ghost author Vera Brosgol.

Then Gran reminds her that they can save blueberries in a jar, as jam. So Freda begins to save all her favorite things. But it turns out that saving everything also means she can’t enjoy anything, and Freda realizes that some things are best saved as memories.

Vera Brosgol torna, dopo anni dal suo debutto con il geniale Anya e il suo fantasma, e ci regala una storia quasi vera su quando, bambina, voleva andare ai campi estivi, ma preferì quello per immigrati russi, come lei, a uno di quelli per ragazzi americani. La vita del campeggio scout si rivela più dura del previsto e la piccola Vera si scoprirà a sperare che il tempo passi in fretta, per poter tornare a casa. Realistico, doloroso nel modo in cui lo sono le vere storie di crescita, e divertente come solo i libri di una grandissima narratrice sanno essere, Sempre pronti vi delizierà, e vi ricorderà le peggiori estati della vostra infanzia.
