The Year of the Beasts by Cecil Castellucci
3.0
Tessa (age 15) and Lulu (age 13) are sisters, but they are quite different. Lulu is prettier and more confident, while Tessa is more insecure. They have a close bond, and when they go to a carnival, they meet boys, one of whom is Tessa's crush. As the boy falls for Lulu, Tessa feels an incredible amount of jealousy, putting their sisterly bond to the test.
With alternating prose and graphic novel chapters, this book is cleverly crafted. The graphic novel chapters will seem confusing to the reader, and it isn't until the end that the story comes together.
