Midsummer Sisters is a contemporary graphic novel about

two sisters who find themselves watching over a wild foal during

a summer of change. A stunning story about the power of sisterhood.

Kenzie and Quinn aren't just stepsisters - they're best

friends. They're spending the summer with their grandmother, kayaking

in the marshy coastal islands she calls home. The Outer Banks

are also home to a herd of wild ponies, and the girls fall in love

with a fragile newborn foal that they name Starling.

But even blue skies and sandy beaches can't distract from what's

going on back home. Things between their parents aren't the way

they used to be, and the constant fights have left Kenzie and Quinn

anxious and confused. They can't remember a time when they weren't

a family. If their parents divorce and Quinn and her mom move

away, will they even still be sisters ... or will they be nothing?

As their world shifts around them, the girls swear to do the one

thing they can: keep Starling safe.

Award-winning cartoonist Niki Smith delivers a stunning story

set during a summer of change. Filled with gorgeous and expressive

illustrations, Midsummer Sisters is a celebration of the beauty

of wild horses, as powerful as the unbreakable bond between sisters.
