Happy Saturday bookworms! Welcome to my review of Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod. Thank you to First Second Books for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review. This book is currently available in stores!
Continental Drifter is a graphic memoir about Kathy who feels like she lives in two different worlds because she has a Thai mother and an American father. She spends most of her time in Bangkok but can't wait for summer vacation where she can finally travel to Maine. Kathy loves Maine's beauty and all the delicious food, but she struggles to fit in with other kids in the town. Kathy just wants to find a place where she truly belongs, but she’s not sure if it’s in America, Thailand . . . or anywhere. I thought the art style was super cute! It was engaging and fun to look at, plus it fit the tone of the book really well. I enjoyed learning about Kathy's story and seeing her grow. Continental Drifter talks about feeling like you don't belong and how much of an impact it is. We follow Kathy as she encounters different experiences in her life that change how she views the world. I would have liked for a few scenes to be drawn out more but overall I enjoyed the pacing of the story. Filled with messages of family, hope, and confidence, Continental Drifter is a story about living as your truest self. I gave this book 3/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of Continental Drifter by Kathy MacLeod. I hope you enjoyed it! What is one place you’ve always wanted to visit? Let me know in the comments below!
