About the book
Summer camp is supposed to be a place to find yourself, but when you’re sent to a Christian sleepaway camp, that can be hard to do. Hemmed in by how she presents herself at school, and the expectations of her pastor father, Meg finds it hard to know just how she feels about herself… let alone how others feel about her.
When Meg runs into Danny, a soft and charming boy who also comes to the camp every summer, her feelings start to flourish. Unfortunately, with these feelings come questions. How is she supposed to fulfill the role she is supposed to play when her heart and her faith are both questioning?
This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel speaks to complexity of faith, while also exploring the power of first loves and the complicated feelings they can bring.

About the author
Kat Schneider is a comics artist and printmaker working in New Jersey.

When she's not drawing, you can find her hopelessly trying to beat a new level in a video game or hanging out with her husband and cats. Someday Perfect is her debut graphic novel.
