Big Apple Diaries

Description

在《大蘋果日記》中，艾麗莎·貝穆德斯寫了一本發自內心的日記風格的回憶錄，講述了一個年輕的紐約人在中學期間塗鴉的經歷，直到2001年9月11日的恐怖襲擊讓她開始懷疑自己是否還能做回孩子。

In Big Apple Diaries, a heartfelt diary-style graphic memoir by Alyssa Bermudez, a young New Yorker doodles her way through middle school–until the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack leaves her wondering if she can ever be a kid again.

It’s the year 2000 in New York City. For 12-year old Alyssa, a biracial Puerto Rican girl, this means all kinds of new challenges: splitting time between her dad’s apartment in Manhattan and her mom’s new place in Queens, navigating the ups and downs of middle school, harboring an epic crush on a new classmate, and figuring out how to be a “real” Puerto Rican. The only way to make sense of it all is to write and draw her thoughts and worries into her diary.
