A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING by Dan Santat

 

Presenting the National Book Award Winner, Dan Santat, and his amazing graphic tale. In A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING, Santat presents a time in his life filled with moments many teens will find totally relatable. As he leaves middle school, Santat's parents encourage him to experience the world on a school trip to Europe.

Through his great drawings and witty dialogue, readers will experience the trip right along with Santat. Not the most popular kid, he tries to spread his wings and join the crowd. Although, things don't always end well, he does experience his first love as well as some awesome sight-seeing in several European countries. Filled with heart-warming firsts and interesting characters, the Book Award was well-deserved. Perfect for middle school and high school collections.
