Summary
The last year of school before graduation has begun … a time when the world seems the same but when everything will change. For Ben, who is determined to enjoy the end of summer with his girlfriend, Clara, the mood gradually darkens as she begins to withdraw in a similar manner as his best friend, Andreas, had, and without explanation. While tensions grow between Ben and Clara through the school year, Andreas struggles with his own demons, and suddenly final exams are upon them along with the inevitable questions from friends and family alike: What are you doing after school? Where will you enroll? Will you move out? What’s next? Maybe the answer for Ben and his classmates is to simply slow down and take a deep breath … Outline is creator Michèle Fischel’s impressive graphic novel debut, in which she demonstrates a deep relatability for that special phase in which we cautiously leave childhood behind and look to the future with uncertainty and anticipation.

Critics Review
“A solid choice for YA collections, this book highlights the melancholy lesson that some youthful friendships don’t last forever but are still worthwhile.” —School Library Journal
“Fischels’s introspective graphic novel debut captures the transience of young adulthood […] a somber rumination on the uncertainties of friendship and love.” —Publishers Weekly
“An introspective, beautifully illustrated, and inspiring story.” —Kirkus
“Packed with the nostalgia of standing on the precipice of adulthood where even the mundane feels life altering […] this contemplative, quiet coming-of-age story in loose, expressively sketchy artwork could best be described as the story of an interlude—the future is unknown, but there is a willingness to find out what it holds.” —Booklist
