Honor Girl

Honor Girl is a critically acclaimed graphic novel memoir by Maggie Thrash, recounting her summer at Camp Bellflower for Girls in 2000. At fifteen, Maggie experiences her first profound crush, not on a boy, but on an older female counselor named Erin. The book tenderly explores Maggie's internal world as she grapples with these new, intense feelings in a traditional camp setting where such a relationship feels impossible. It's a beautiful coming-of-age story about self-discovery, identity, and the courage to acknowledge one's true feelings. Ideal for ages 12-18, it offers significant representation for LGBTQ+ youth and sparks important conversations about identity and acceptance.
