In 1980s Troy, New York, nonbinary teenager Claire's stint in court-ordered rehab may be exactly what they need to unpack all the bad they have experienced--if they can stay sober in a world seemingly never made for them. - Random House, Inc.
A raw graphic novel debut about a queer teen living in the margins who is determined to find their way ahead.
Are you supposed to be a boy or a girl?
It's a question that follows Claire everywhere. Inescapable on the street, in school, and even at home. A black hole forever trying to pull them in. Claire knows what theyâre supposed to beâand according to their Catholic family, thatâs definitely not someone whoâd kiss a girl at a party. When the news gets out, the questions get hard: Is Claire having a girlfriend the thing that feels wrong? Or is it being a girl?
The answer is easy: drink it all away.
When a downward spiral puts Claire on a collision course with court-ordered rehab, the unexpected happens:Â Claire is soon surrounded by a group of new friends and, with the help of a patient counselor, finds a space to unpack all the bad they've experienced. But as Claireâs release gets closer so does the question: Can Claire stay sober and true in a world seemingly never made for them?
Set in 1980s Troy, New York, Constellations is a portrait of a queer teen living in the margins but determined to find their way ahead. Done in watercolor and ink, debut author-artist Kate Glasheen has created a world where strong lines meet soft color, and raw emotions meet deep thought in this story of hope, humor, and survival.
