Almost American Girl

Original graphic novel with annotations For as long as Robin can remember, it's just been her and her mom. So when her mother suddenly announces she's getting married-and that their summer trip to the United States will become a permanent move-Robin's world is turned upside down overnight. In Alabama, everything feels foreign: a language she can't yet speak, a school where she doesn't belong, and a life far removed from the friends she left behind in Seoul. Isolated and overwhelmed, Robin struggles to navigate culture shock, loneliness, and the complicated bond she shares with her strong-willed mother. Slowly, through art, courage, and determination, Robin begins to find her voice-learning that belonging isn't about where you come from, but about discovering who you are. Told with honesty and warmth, Almost American Girl is a powerful coming-of-age story about identity, resilience, and starting over.
