30 Down, 22 To Go "Potential" (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
Potential is subtitled, "The High School Comic Chronicles of Ariel Schrag," and captures the cartoonist in a brutally honest fashion during the emotionally challenging time of young adulthood. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this graphic novel is that it is an actual memoir, drawn and written by Ariel Schrag while she was in high school. The emotion and drama of falling in love, finding out who you really are, and what you love is tangible in this book, as is the heartbreak and awkwardness of growing up.
